Remember when I mentioned that I’ve been busy planning for a really cool event that I’m hosting tomorrow night? Well, I just wanted to assure that everything is coming together beautifully. Nick and I have spent the evening setting up and I’ve been freaking out at his creativity and brilliant ideas. I’m still going to keep the details a secret, but lets just say that its going to be awesome and I can’t wait to share it with you! I just wish all my girls from MI to VA to CO to NY to Israel could come!
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you the Butter Bundt Cake I made for the party. Seriously, can anything with “Butter” in the title be anything but fabulous? I made this recipe last summer and it was moist, rich, sweet, and well, buttery. Enjoy!!
BUTTER BUNDT CAKE | |
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 c. butter 2 c. sugar 4 eggs 1 c. buttermilk 1 tsp. vanilla
Combine flour, powder, soda and salt and set aside. Cream butter and sugar well. Add eggs to creamed mixture, one at a time, beating well after each. Combine buttermilk and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and buttermilk to creamed mixture, alternately beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Bake at 325 degrees for 60t o 65 minutes. Take out of oven and pierce with a skewer and add the following glaze.
BUTTER BUNDT GLAZE:
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar 1/4 c. water 1 tbsp. vanilla
Combine first three ingredients, heat until butter melts. Add vanilla. Pour over cake while still in pan, allow to stand in pan for 15 minutes, invert pan and place cake on a tray.
NOTE: I followed these directions and my glaze ended up being on the bottom of the cake. I didn’t like the look of the plain top, so I made a little more of the glaze and drizzled it on top and dusted it with powdered sugar. What I think I did last time and what I would recommend is to take the cake out of the pan first and then poking the holes on top and drizzling the glaze over the cake while it is on your plate.
