How to make a Kentucky Butter Cake Tutorial

The cake looks great! I love the frozen buttermilk cube idea! No more wasted buttermilk!

When your buttermilk goes bad, do not throw it out. It makes the absolute best buttermilk cornbread. My mother's secret. She salvaged everything.

[@barbram8001]

That's a beautiful cake, I'm going to make this cake.

[@33605pgood]

The texture of this cake is MUCH nicer when you cream the butter and sugar together first for about 5 - 8 minutes, then add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and last alternate adding in the combined flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder mixture and the butter milk to the egg butter and sugar mixture with your mixer on med speed. Trust me when I tell you your cake will be lovely, light and tender.

[@mariamshariff6436]

fantastic my dear God bless you 👌

[@toshiyukisuzuki7610]

Brilliant suggestion from a seasoned baker who goes for the complete package, not just taste. Thanks😊

[@Sexyeyes700]

33605pgood ..... I’ve been baking for over 30 years, and I agree, HOWEVER, I have seen many recipes that dump everything in, and I think they are intended to purposely be a little “different”. With a true pound cake, (which this is not), I’d definitely want better texture, BUT I think this would be a cool cake to make to save all the steps and TIME...plus most cake eaters seem to only care about taste anyway. I’m gonna try this for fun one day!!

[@followme8238]

33605pgood good tips, I guess, but I’m looking for a heavier dense cake so I’ll just follow the video

[@uptoolate2793]

@@followme8238 Try making the cake both ways. Then you will learn from your own valuable experience. Let us know what you found out. My bet is to not over develop the gluten by taking time to employ the creaming method.

[@cajmartinez]

I've made this cake for over 45yrs. I found it in a Pillsbury cook book my mother gave me. It had won a bake off contest in 1960's I still have the book. It calls for the butter and sugar to be creamed first, then add in eggs, mixing one at a time. The dry ingredients were mixed separately together then added alternately with flour last, then mix in vanilla, mix in. Then bake for 50-60 minutes. I use a tube pan. You can add vanilla for flavoring in butter sauce, in lieu of rum flavoring. When a toothpick comes out clean, take it out, poke all around with skewer of fork, drizzle glaze all over it. Let cool completely. I make it early, and it is ready to be eaten same night. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. I use a paper doily on top of cake and sprinkle the powdered sugar over that to make a design which is exactly what was done in original recipe.

Should we use unsalted butter or salted? Does it matter? I think I read somewhere that when baking you should always use unsalted butter. What difference does it make? Thanks Leta.

[@FlaviaLimaNyx]

Hi, I love your recipes!! People here love the cinnamon rolls, funny thing on the first try I burnt them a little because I forgot that your temperature is on Farenheit!! But they were good anyways! =D kkkk! I wanted to ask you if there is anything I can substitute the buttermilk because I am from Brazil and I don't think we have it here... or if we got it is probably soo hard to find! >.< I'm dying to give this a try, please help me! Thanks so much!

[@amyh2851]

Flavia Lima For every cup of buttermilk you need, take a cup of milk and put it about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in it and set it aside. The vinegar will curdle the milk like buttermilk. I hope this helps!

Does the buttermilk have to be room temperature when your making the cake?

[@lynngreen8544]

Interesting. This is the first time I have seen a homemade cake done this way. I guess it cuts down on the time. It looks good, but I will continue the traditional method of creaming sugar, butter, and eggs and adding dry ingredients.

[@explorerfromtheeast1191]

Butter milk is a bit sour isn't it? Or is it something else

My mind went like what what the world did she just do???? I have never seen or heard ANYBODY say to dump everything in at once when baking a pound cake. I was literally stumped. So you can just call this a dumped pound cake😂s which I can’t stand those either😂

[@elviamunguia8397]

I got the recipe and trying to make it but it was too dry! I couldn’t mix it anymore without adding more milk!

[@MissTreasure]

I creamed the butter and sugar first..added the eggs 1 at a time and then alternate the dry with 1 cup if milk ..I also suggest 1/2 teaspoon if salt if using salted butter!

[@mastersun495]

[@sterlingthompson6750]

can you use cake flour instead of regular flour??

[@letabitofeverything3254]

+Sterling Thompson I would weigh the amount of all purpose flour, when you know the weight then use the same amount of weight to measure the cake flour.. The amount of cake flour will be more than the all purpose flour. For instance if a recipe calls for 2 -1/2 cup all purpose flour you will need like 2 - 3/4 cup cake flour. Hope that helps :)
