Directions
Baker’s Dozen favorite Butter Cake,This recipe was selected by the Baker’s Dozen after extensive testing of butter cakes. If there is one recipe to have in your file for making tender, golden celebration cakes, it’s this one.,This is the best butter cake I have ever tasted. I followed the recipe exactly – a first for me! – except I do not own 9×2 inch round pans, mine are 9×1.5, so I split the batter between three cake pans. I’m so glad I didn’t try to squeeze all of it into 2 of my pans because the batter more than doubled as it baked and would have flowed out of the pans! The three pans baked for 21 min in my oven. It is light and moist cake, so very rich and buttery. I frosted it with Kittencal’s Chocolate Frosting/Icing – doubled that recipe because it didn’t seem like it would be enough to coat my monster three layer cake. As it was I ended up only making a two layer cake for the bday party at work because my 12 yr old son was “crying” over it, desperate to have some. So, the last layer I cut in half and frosted for him as half of a two layer cake. Glad I did since he loved it so much he did all my dishes!
