Dessert Person with Claire Saffitz

Season 2 Episode 5: Claire Makes St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake ft. Jo Firestone

One of Claire’s favorite desserts from childhood is, Gooey Butter Cake, a St. Louis tradition unlike any other cake. While most recipes call for a box cake mix, Claire takes it back to its German origins as a yeasted coffee cake base with a buttery, gooey, vanilla-scented topping. THEN, Claire puts fellow STL-native, longtime friend, and comedian extraordinaire Jo Firestone to the taste test while the two settle old Gooey Butter Cake beefs.
