Keto Butter Pie

WHAT IS BUTTER PIE?

Butter pie is a sister recipe to the more well-known butter cake. You may have heard it called many things over the years including butter pie, butter cake, and butter dessert.

The variations stem from how the dessert is made. Some names seem to stem from creator preference. A lot of recipe creators even throw the name “ooey gooey” in when describing it.

S IT SIMILAR TO KENTUCKY BUTTER CAKE?

Instead of butter pie, you might more familiar with its cake sibling. Most of the time this is described as “Kentucky Butter Cake,” “Ooey Gooey Cake,” “Ooey Gooey Kentucky Butter Cake,” or “Gooey Butter Pie.”

I am not really sure what exactly is Kentucky about it, but it must have stemmed from a regional recipe within the state.

Or perhaps that is just a moniker it was given somewhere along the way.

BUT ARE THEY SIMILAR?

As far as similarities, there are very few. The lone similarity, really, is that both desserts use butter as a cornerstone ingredient.

Of course, both are sweet. And, depending on how they turn out, it can be considered “gooey.”

However, that is about where the similarities end. Most obviously, this is a pie, not a cake and therefore, is very dissimilar in that regard.
