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.
