This is from the recipe drawer of Pat. This is a cake that my mom used to make on special occasions. It is an interesting recipe, as this was one of the first cakes I remember her making in a bundt pan. It also doesn't have a traditional frosting, but instead has a glaze.
1 Box Duncan Hinds Butter Cake Mix
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs, well beaten
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup nuts
1/2 pt. sour cream
Mix together:
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pour half of batter in pan. Sprinkle half of sugar mixture over batter. Pour other half and sprinkle rest of mixture. Bake 325 for 1 hour.
While cake is warm glaze with:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
Now that I really look at this recipe, I don't know if I ever remember seeing a "butter" cake recipe or "butter" flavoring. Guess that is something that I am going to have to look for the next time I am at the store. Curious if they still have those.
Next time you need a cake for company or to take to a pot luck, give this one a try.
