In reply to Linda Makris. Hi Linda, this cake is kind of dense to be a layer cake. You could try though!

My stepson requested that I make a butter cake for his wedding reception. This sounds like a great recipe. Can this recipe be made into a two-tier cake (12″ & 8″)? Would it still be stable enough if I used the butter sauce on it?

I agree about fireworks. People do not think and let their dogs outside in the yard while fireworks go off and the dog runs away. Get your dog a “thunder shirt” it fits tightly around your dog’s body and makes them feel secure.

Wait until the next day? Ha, ha , ha. NEVER going to happen around here! I have this beauty in the oven as we speak. The batter was heavenly. What? You didn’t taste the batter before baking the cake? Shame! That’s the only way you’ll be able to tell if your cake’s any good. I’ve been doing that 68 years, since I was allowed to eat solid food. I’m still here! I can tell this cake is a keeper, but with my family, it won’t last till the morning. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. And…I feel as you do about the 4th and fireworks. Our rescue dog is terrified and our regular dog isn’t too happy either.

I just baked this butter cake and wasn’t sure if I wanted to add the butter glaze (anticipating family preferences), so I cut a slice while still warm just to judge. It is absolutely delicious without the glaze! And my guess is that it would be extraordinary with the glaze (just not what I was looking for this time). I’ve searched and searched, for years, looking for a rich pound cake that is moist, flavorful but not too heavy/dense. I found it, and this is it!! I will look no further! Thank you, thank you! P.S. My cake came out looking exactly like your picture; and my husband said “That’s a home run!”

This is the best recipe so far!
I have made this recipe on a few occasions and making another one as I type. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic cake! I cut back on the sugar by half a cup, and it was perfect! I am wondering, would the recipe work if I used half a cup of dark rum, and half a cup of buttermilk? Thank you.

So Good! I made it yesterday. Cut the recipe in half and baked it in a loaf pan. Me and my husband had seconds with a fresh strawberry topping.
Will definitely make it again and try different toppings each time!

This cake is delicious – it should be with the egg, butter, and sugar sugar content! My husband absolutely loved it!!

In reply to Jacqueline. Hi Jacqueline, I have not tried this in a sheet pan, but it is worth a shot!
