Question:

Original Pennsylvania (gooey) Butter Cake recipe or bakery?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I had a piece of this confection back in the 70's - it was warm, creamy buttery topping on a thin bottom crust with the layer around the creamy center being on the crispy side. I went to Weinrich's in Willow Grove to get this cake, but this is too cakey on the bottom, and lacked the creamy topping - this seemed to be made more with corn starch, then with a buttery cream.

I would really like to find who makes this in the Philadelphia area - and where can I get a recipe of this as well. I live in Richmond, Virginia - so it's not easy to find.

Thanks

Juliana
