Butter, farm-fresh eggs, cream cheese, cake flour, confectioners and granulated sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract—those seven ingredients are all it takes to make a Gooey Louie gooey butter cake. Owners Kirk and Debbie Stieferman and their crew make each cake from scratch in small batches, following a recipe four generations old, which has led to them being named the "Favorite Gooey Buttercake" by the Riverfront Times five years running. From scratch means the ingredients are all natural and put together by hand—they even sift their own flour. Customers can pick up an original cake, or choose from different flavored iterations, such as chocolate raspberry, peanut-butter cup, and pumpkin. They even craft miniature versions of their cakes for catered events such as weddings and food fights.
