For real ya’ll, don’t send me any cardiologist bills if you choose to make and eat this cake! Its a killer! And let me tell you it just melts in your mouth. Could it be from the nearly POUND of butter in this heart attack cake? I just can not explain to you how delicious this baked good was. You will just have to try it for yourself! Again I am not responsible for any medical costs due to raised cholesterol levels!!!!I found this bad boy on All Recipes . But tweeked it a bit.
The pictures soooooooo don’t do it justice. I didn’t have the heart to tell the pour little cake it wasn’t very photogenic!
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup butter
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup white sugar
2/3 cup butter
6 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, 2 cups sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Blend in buttermilk, 1 cup of butter, 2 teaspoons of extracts and 4 eggs. Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed. Pour batter into prepared pan.
To make Butter Sauce: Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan, and cook over medium heat, until fully melted and combined. DONT BOIL
Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Poke a bunch of holes in the still warm cake. Slowly pour 1/2 of the sauce over cake. Let cake cool before removing from pan. Carefully take a knife and run it around the edge of the cake in the pan to help loosen it, invert the cake onto a wire rack. Poke more hole onto the top of the cake(lots of holes, and make sure they are big enough so the glaze will soak through). Now pour the remaining 1/2 of the glaze over the top of the cake. And your done.
Betcha cant wait for the cake to cool before you slice into it!
i love being southern and having a legitimate excuse to eat things like this! 🙂
my hole-poking technique involves a massive wooden spoon and i make so many holes that it looks like a machine gun has gone off in my kitchen. 🙂
gosh im really having heart attack, this looks deliciously gorgeous!! yum
ps, your comment made me laugh..on being dress to kill.;well it reminded me one time i went home in my parents house and we needed to borrow some casseroles from my aunts who lives just a walking distance, so we opted to walk with the big casserole and i saw my ex-bf (and i wasnt even aware he just moved close my parents house), well to cut the story short it was the big shame of my life 🙂 LOL have a great day Leslie!!
Oh yeah, this is so for me. My doc says my cholesterol is so low so I think this would be perfect to get into normal range!
you know if its got butter in the name its got to be good!
We need to put some rum on that bad boy! That cake looks just fabulous. Thanks for sharing–this is a keeper.
The more butter the better. My mom is from the south and this is right up her ally – I will make this for her as a belated Mothers Day treat.
Cheers
