Ahhh this post reminded me that I bookmarked a recipe for gooey butter cake quite a while ago, and never made it! (I’ve also never tased it before, so I don’t know how it tastes-did you like it?). Hope the airsickness wears off quickly!

I did like it! Its texture reminded me of lemon squares, but its flavor is just pure butter and sugar!! At least, that’s the “original” version. I went to a cafe that had many other varieties—chocolate chip, cranberry walnut, etc. etc.!
I think my inner ears got messed up on the plant…decongestants finally seemed to help. Ugh! Thanks!
