This coffee cake is a St. Louis tradition, where the cake becomes the crust and holds a gooey cream cheese filling. It’s generally served for breakfast, but can easily make an appearance on any dessert table. **DISCLAIMER: I will not be held accountable any weight that may be gained from this recipe.
