These bars are equal parts puckery lemon curd punctuated with a generous amount of lemon zest, and crisp poppy-seed shortbread – twice baked to avoid a soggy bottom. The bars are finished with a billowy swoop of meringue, made with a bit of cornstarch to help keep it from weeping.

Homemade Gooey Butter Cake with Powdered Sugar Before I travel to a city I like to learn a little about the history, customs and, most importantly, favorite foods. This coffee cake is a tradition in Saint Louis, Missouri. It’s a super buttery, rich treat that is easy enough to prepare in your own kitchen. No need to travel to Saint Louis to try it, although I highly recommend it if you are in the area.

This recipe originally came from my mom, Elisabeth. She always made excellent lemon bars when I was growing up. Mom loves anything lemony and tart and I’m just the same. I’m so lucky that she is always so willing to share her recipes with me. We make these at the bakery with a torched meringue topping for fun. It’s worth getting a small kitchen blowtorch to raise the bar of presentation in your home baking.
