St. Louis is known for many things. The Arch, Cardinals, Blues and Mississippi River just to name a few. But St. Louis is also famous for food. Some really, really good food and desserts. So many delicious favorites. Imo’s Pizza, Ted Drewes frozen yogurt, Italian food on the Hill, toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake. One of my favorites is the gooey butter cake. Being gluten free means that I had to figure out how to make a tasty gluten free gooey butter cake recipe… and so I did!
