If every state had an official dessert, what would it be? (Montana gets S’mores.)

I'm ok with Bananas Foster for Louisiana.
Man, I want some now!

All my relatives except my father are from Mississippi and I've never even heard of mud cake, much less eaten it. I've had Jeff Davis pie and hummingbird cake, and I'd suggest the latter.

Definitely agreed on Maine blueberries though.

I haven't even heard of gooey cake (or whatever) for Missouri. I'm also not from Saint Louis.
I love icecream. I can smother that on a man and eat it off.

Reeeally.....

(/picks up phone, orders 55 gallon drum of ice cream...)

California has Meyer Lemon Cake.

As if. I've never seen it in the many restaurants I've patronized in the Bay Area. Meyer Lemon tart, yes. Cake no.

And if anything is a common dessert in Foodie CA restaurants, it's Molten Chocolate Cake.

Gooey butter cake
Gooey butter cake is a St. Louis curiosity that seems to defy description (despite the seemingly specific nature of its name). It falls somewhere between a sheet cake and a bar: It starts with a layer of thick, extra-buttery yellow cake (doctored from a cake mix box, usually), but the gooey part comes from a filling made of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and eggs. Like most great regional specialties, it comes with a host of contradictory origin stories, all of which place its birth somewhere in the 1930s or 1940s

Mississippi mud is so much better, for me anyway...

I wouldn't know either way.

Clearly, the honey who wrote that article is a little rich brat with waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on her hands — and for Slate: go figure.

She's prolly hella fat, too.

Hmm...Sugar Cream Pie for Indiana.
I disagree, we are known for Persimmon Pudding
