SF KIDS CREW Butter Cake a California Pizza Kitchen imitation Have you ever had the butter cake from California Pizza Kitchen? If not, you should. Then, if you love it as much as I do, you should make it at home with this recipe. Spotlight Kids junior food reporter, 4-year-old Julianna Nicholson, helped her mom bake this in the kitchen.It’s not exactly like the butter cake from CPK (it never is), but it’s pretty darn close. And of course, I add condensed milk to my butter cake recipe because every dessert is better with condensed milk. Before you jump into baking this cake, check out the star of Baking with Bunny going at it in the kitchen on BakingWithBunny.com. She loves to bake with her mommy, so she just had to get in on this butter cake action. At the restaurant, it’s served warm with vanilla ice cream on top. I highly recommend eating it this way… sooooo good! It’s so easy, even a three-year-old can make it.
