"It’s actually their Philadelphia Butter Cake that has us stopping by the shop more times than we’d like to admit. If you’re not familiar, a butter cake is just as devilish as it sounds. It’s dense and gooey with a flakey, perfectly bronzed top."

"Whipped Bakeshop is popular among its customers for delectable cakes and cupcakes, but the Philadelphia butter cake, a hybrid pie-cake concoction, has stolen the stage in recent years. Whipped Bakeshop describes this protagonist as an "old-school Philly treat that has a glazed doughnut dough base, a sweet and gooey custard-like center, and a caramelized top with chewy, buttery edges." You won't want to miss this one."
