Warm Butter Cake

Warm butter cake is one of the best dessert recipes ever. Here is how to make warm butter cake from scratch.

What is Warm Butter Cake?

Warm butter cake is one of my favorite desserts. The butter cake Mastro makes is wonderful served warm and topped with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce.

The cake is crunchy on the outside from turbinado sugar, yet moist and almost gooey on the inside. The textures and flavors are unbeatable.

How to Make Warm Butter Cake Step By Step:

Making warm butter cake involves three parts:

1. The first part is to prepare the cake mixture using unsalted butter, cream cheese, eggs, course sugar, and flour. You simply mix them until they are combined and then bake them for 30 minutes until they are done.
2. The second part of making this butter cake involves making the filling which includes unsalted butter, vanilla extract, buttermilk, sugar, and baking soda. You just have to cook the mixture for about 10 minutes before using it in this recipe.
3. The last part involves poking a few holes on the top of the cake and pouring the buttermilk mixture into the holes. Then, you can serve your cake with vanilla ice cream, strawberries, and mint, or any other garnishes you like.

If desired, you can top the cakes with brown sugar and brown them with a kitchen torch. Then, you can top the cakes with vanilla ice cream, raspberry sauce, and a sprig of mint. Then, you can serve the cakes with a large bowl of homemade whipped cream and enjoy!

How Do You Warm Up Butter Cake?

To reheat the butter cake, just place it on a foil-lined baking sheet. Then, place it in a cold oven and set the oven to 250 F. Heat the cake just until it is warm, about 10 to 15 minutes.

What is the Best Butter For Cakes?

Unsalted Butter

It is one of the best types of butter for both cooking and sautéing. Unsalted butter can be made from milk, cream, or maybe both. It has 80% fat and is the best choice of butter for baking cakes.

You can also try this type of butter:

• Salted Butter
