That Kentucky Butter Cake!!

Here's the recipe for ya! divascancook.com/kentucky-butter-cake/

Thanks for sharing

[@SarahRileyThomas]

Can I use a little less of the rum extract? I would prefer it not be too strong.

[@jenetrajackson6794]

Is there something we can use in place of butter flavored shortening? Shortening has hydrogenated oils that are not good for your health. Also, can you use rum versus the rum extract?

You are the reason my whole family loves when I bake cakes for function or just in general. I sometimes sale them. I've always been into baking since a kid, but gotten better as an adult on my spare time. Thank you. This will be the next cake I try to bake.

Yesss! Some of my family members calls me for cakes, and thinks the cakes will be ready the same day!

[@deandrezvoltage]

@@LadyUniqueness yeah same here. They forget I'm a full time trucker and part time mechanic at times. So they have to requested cakes in advance. Baking is all day thing when I have to like 4-5 orders.

Good thing people have different opinions. Her voice is _annoying as hell to me_ like fake as can be & trying too hard to sound sweet as pie.. I said that the first time I ever watched a video of hers. She has good recipes but, the stuff she says sometimes is cringe. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@GermanicJennifer]

As an avid baker I have tried this recipe and it is TO DIE FOR!! thank you for sharing this amazing recipe with the rest of us! EDIT: I halved the sugar in this recipe and it was still very sweet…. In total this recipe aLmost contain 4 cups sugar 😨😨😨

[@mayliceleste]

Curious did you half the sugar in the cake batter? Did you do 2 cups instead of 3?

[@noneyabeezwax8865]

I’m 58 yrs old. My mom used to make this cake for all my birthdays when I was a child. It was always my favorite. I haven’t had one since 1970s. Looks like I need to start making this cake for my family.

[@SweetyTamara]

So I made this for my family and when I tell you it was so good! The only difference was I added some butter flavoring to the sauce and it was a hit!!! My mom even asked for the recipe. This cake is the truth 😁

[@vickihammons1443]

Hi, this sounds delicious. How much butter flavoring did you add, if you don't mind sharing?

[@SweetyTamara]

@@vickihammons1443 I haven't made it in a while but I would say anywhere from a tsp to a tbsp. Just start with a tsp and add to your liking. The rum flavor was a little too strong for me so the butter helped mellow it out.

[@glamourandsugar1067]

Me too

[@tundrawomansays5067]

Me too! But being in the Antiquities Section of Old Farts Imma rebel: All these Old Farts *always* use something called “I can’t believe it’s not butter” and I’m like, “Honey, I sure can!” Putting that stuff with ingredients on the side of the container you can’t even pronounce that’s made in a lab on my light, lovely yeast rolls? I think “I just *know* where you’re goin’ when you die....” (Besides, you already rockin’ an oxygen tank, a defibrillator, a pharmacy, speed dial to the ambulance and a wheel chair.....) Don’t mind me, I just get grumpy over this stuff but then, along comes another recipe from my favorite lady and chase my blues away!

[@ritabuggthomas2696]

OKAYYYYY ‼️ CAUSE BUTTER IS MY FAVORITE. I USE THAT SHHH WITH EVERYTHING.

[@crabstick250]

YUM. In the early 70s, there was a trend to make rum soaked bundt cakes similar to this. Bacardi would have ads in all the "ladies" magazines w the recipe. My sister went thru a phase of making the Bacardi rum cakes for gatherings and her friends. So at abt 9 or 10 yrs old, I grew quite fond of them lol 😄. I think I'll turn the tables and make this for her! Thanx for this recipe!! Great channel! 😋

[@lyndim100]

How’d it come out?

[@omololaolatunji9111]

I just made this cake today. It taste like Nigerian birthday cakes, which means it taste great. Normally in Nigerian birthday cakes you use butterscotch extract but this rum extract works well the way it is. It has only been 2-3 hours since I baked it. Instead of using actual butter for both the cake and the syrup I used Country Crock(vegan butter). So next time I will use half of the amount of butter as country crock butter does not foam.

Why I say that is because you will find yourself eating half the cake. This by far is the MOST DELICIOUS CAKE I HAVE EVER MADE!!!! I ate one slice after I put the syrup on the cake. 😲 I immediately knew I had to get that cake out of my house. I distributed slices to everyone and got nothing but great raves about it. Will be making again at my family gathering in August. THANK YOU!!!
