favorite cake – Salted Caramel Kentucky Butter Cake (Page 2 ) | December 10, 2025

Annonce:

Kentucky Butter Cake has its roots in traditional Southern baking, where butter was a prized ingredient. The cake is known for being rich but surprisingly light, thanks to the creaming method and a generous butter glaze poured over it immediately after baking. It’s sometimes referred to as a “sticky butter cake” because of its moist, tender crumb and glossy glaze.

Adding salted caramel to the glaze is a modern twist, borrowing from the popularity of salted caramel in desserts worldwide, which perfectly complements the buttery cake base and adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
