You must be from St Louis! I'm glad you posted, I was beginning to think I was imagining that cake. I think it was the bakery on Arsenal St, I think I used to live on S Grand or just off of it. I also remember a Cheesecake that had a light, airy texture. I loved both of those cakes. Well, we can never go back, can we? I wouldn't mind corresponding with you but I don't know how since you were a guest. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Deep Butter Coffee Cake Post By Sherri (Guest Post) (12/05/2007) Wow, Dorothy! You're obviously from St Louis! I'm so glad you posted, I was beginning to think I was imagining it! That cake was to die for! I think it was the bakery on Arsenal St! I may have lived on S Grand or just off of it! It's been so many years I can't remember. Did that bakery also have cheesecakes with a very light texture? I loved both the deep butter cake and the cheesecake! I wouldn't mind talking to you if possible, by email of course. But I don't know how to do it.

The recipe passed to Lake Forest Bakery on Clayton Road in St. Louis. Now they are gone too. Some thought Favorite Bakery on Cherokee had the recipe but Buttemoeller went to work at Lake Forest so I suspect that's the original recipe. The dough was made with sweet yeast dough (thin layer) and then the melt-in-your-mouth deep butter was at least 2/3 high on top of the dough. Loved to find that recipe too. After baking, they shook powder sugar on top. Yum!!!

I'm talking back 36 years ago so it's hard to remember where I used to shop, but we lived close enough to walk to Cherokee St, so the bakery might have been there. I miss those good old days, the texture of the cheesecake was very light and almost spongy and melted in your mouth. Yum yum! The deep butter cake was so rich and good I can't even think of how to describe it, and I'm not talking about gooey butter cake. To U*u*U - thanks for the recipe, I'm gonna try it!

There was one on Sydny just off S. 18th St. that was to die for. I have yet to find any that can put out that kind of quality. Now that was a long time ago so maybe no-one bakes like that any more. Good luck in finding a substitute.
