Breakfast Butter Cake with “Cinnamon Goo”

November 23rd, 2008

This cake is so good, it is a moist butter flavored cake with a little tang from the buttermilk and sour cream. The cinnamon “goo” is everybody’s favorite part, and it soaks into the cake while it is still hot. I was making it for dessert, but my husband likes it better for breakfast like a coffee cake. So now I serve it with fresh berries and morning coffee.

Butter Cake

-1 cup soft butter
-1 cup white sugar
-1 cup brown sugar
-1 cup sour cream
-1/4 cup buttermilk
-2 Tbs vanilla
-4 eggs
-3 cups flour
-1 tsp baking powder

Cinnamon Goo

-1 cup brown sugar
-½ cup butter
-¼ cup half and half
-2 tsp vanilla
-2 tsp cinnamon

1) Cream the butter and the sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream, buttermilk,vanilla and eggs.

2) Sift dry ingredients together. Combine them with the wet ingredients. Pour into a greased bundt pan, and bake 45-55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

3) In the last 5 minutes of the cake baking, combine the sauce ingredients and bring them to a boil.

4) When the cake comes out of the oven keep it in the pan. Poke a bunch of holes in it with a skewer and then slowly pour the sauce over the cake, letting it sink in before you pour more.

5) Let the cake cool before you slice into it. You can serve it with fresh whipped cream and berries for dessert or breakfast.
