This Gooey Butter Cake Martini recipe is a delicious way to drink your dessert! It’s made with the flavors of white chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, and butterscotch schnapps for a decadent, indulgent, creamy cocktail. If you’ve ever had gooey butter cake, this drink will give you the same amazing feeling!
Gooey Butter Cake Martini
This dessert cocktail is made to taste just like gooey butter cake. It’s a fun martini recipe that is just so decadent!
We here in St. Louis have a few things we are VERY proud of when it comes to food. There’s a section of town called “The Hill” that boasts the best Italian food you have ever had. We love our Ted Drewes ice cream and Imo’s Pizza (provel cheese forever!). And you certainly won’t find an appetizer we like better than deep fried ravioli !
But my favorite of all our classic foods is GOOEY BUTTER CAKE! It’s a dense and delicious little square slice of cake that is traditionally made from wheat cake flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. It It comes in all flavors and assortments, and if you haven’t tried it, you haven’t lived! It’s an STL tradition that we don’t take lightly, and I thought it would be fun to make it into cocktail form (because why not?).
Every great dessert needs a liquid companion, am I right? This Gooey Butter Cake Martini is a must make whether you have tried the real thing or not, it’s SO good, easy, indulgent, and addicting. YUM!
You won’t believe how good this dessert cocktail is. It tastes just like gooey butter cake!
Be sure to also try our Gooey Butter Cookies , Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies , and Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake !
Vodka and Butterscotch Schnapps Drink
Another thing we are proud of here in St. Louis is Pearl Vodka . I know you’ve seen me talk about it before, and hopefully you’ve given it a try. If you have, then you’re already a fan. It’s my very favorite vodka because it’s crisp, clean, smooth, delicious, and made right here in St. Louis.
It comes in ALL the best flavors (so many!) but my go-to has always been the Black Pearl. To me, it just can’t be beat. This Gooey Butter Cake Martini recipe is fabulous with the flavorless Black Pearl or the Pearl Vanilla Bean, whatever floats your boat!
The Vanilla Bean flavor adds that extra kick of vanilla in, but you can use any vodka and just add vanilla extract instead.
This drink also features butterscotch schnapps, white chocolate liqueur, and hazelnut liqueur. Everything combines perfectly into one indulgent drink!
How to Make Gooey Butter Martini
This gooey butter cake martini recipe couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is mix the ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake it all up, and pour. It looks just as thick and creamy as the original gooey butter cake, and the flavor is just amazing. I highly recommend this as an after dinner drink to replace dessert. You get the best of both worlds in one!
If you’ve never tried gooey butter cake (or if you have and you’re obsessed), make sure you try these recipes too:
- Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake
- Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
