I have yet to decide which cake I like best, this one or the Classic Southern Butter Cake. They are both so delicious and moist.
This one, however, gives me a little more butter flavor with the moist cake. I do need to warn you that this recipe does make a very large batch. So you may want to cut the recipe in half.
The first time I tried this was in combination with Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Ice cream. I did change it just slightly.
However, you could use half the recipe to make the ice cream version of this cake. This way, when you serve the cake, you can have ice cream to go on top or on the plate next to the slice of cake.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I store this cake?
With the butter, it is best to store this cake in the refrigerator. This amount of dairy will not last when sitting on the counter, for any extended amount of time. I highly suggest covering tightly with plastic wrap or placing it into an airtight container and then keeping it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Can I freeze the cake?
You actually can! Again, wrap it tightly or place it into an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. I have not noticed any change in the texture after it has thawed.
Do I have to serve it with the OOey Gooey Ice Cream?
Absolutely not! I enjoy munching on this cake as a plain snack. I have also served it with many different flavors of ice cream and it has been just as delightful with each.
