Breakfast cake made with butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla for a special treat...
This breakfast cake recipe came from the "Magnolia Bakery Cookbook" and is something they call breakfast buns. Let me tell you, this treat is so rich that I had to change the name to cake just to be fair. I've had buns and I know something about them. This is no bun. Maybe in an old world, middle ages sense of the word you could call it a bun, but nowadays - this is cake. Ingredients * 3 sticks butter, soft * 6 eggs, room temp * 2 1/4 cups sugar * 3/4 cup milk * 2 tsp vanilla extract * 3 cups flour * 1/2 tsp baking soda * 1/2 tsp salt *
Combine the dry ingredients and set aside. In your mixer, cream the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes. Add your eggs, one at a time, continuing to mix. Then add the flour mix and the milk and vanilla, alternating between wet and dry until the batter comes together nicely. Spoon the batter into a greased mini loaf pan or muffin pan as you like. Place in a preheated, 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick in the middle comes out clean. breakfast cake recipe and more at Amazon books
Remove pans from the oven and allow to cool completely. At this point, the recipe calls for a glaze of confectioners sugar mixed with water, but these are so sweet already, I just left mine plain. Of course if it were someones birthday and this was a surprise, you could frost them for the ultimate breakfast birthday cake.
