Glazed Bundt Butter Cake

No comments



I love the humble Bundt cake because it's very versatile and has a broad 
appeal.  Chocolates, lemon and apples are just a few of the endless 
flavours you can put in a Bundt cake. Here I am sharing one that is just 
with plain butter. It's moist and buttery and glazed  with a luscious butter sauce. 
So enjoy!

Ingredients:
250g              Butter ( cool at room temperature )
250g              Self-raising flour
200g              Castor sugar
1 teaspoon     Baking powder
5                    Eggs
1/2 cup          Milk ( full fat or reduced fat )
1 cup              Walnuts ( chopped and toasted )

Butter Sauce:
150g              White sugar
 76g               Butter
2 teaspoon     Vanilla extract
3 tablespoon   Water


Method:

1.    Preheat oven to 180 degree C.  Oiled a 10 inch Bundt pan.
       Sprinkle chopped walnuts evenly over the bottom of the pan.
2.    Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3.    Separate egg yolks from egg whites.
4.    Add unwhisked egg whites to mixture gradually and cream.
5.    Add egg yolks one at a time and cream.
6.    Fold in sifted flour and baking powder and milk.
7.    Pour mixture over chopped nuts in the pan and bake for about 
       35 - 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out 
       clean.
8.    Make butter sauce:  in medium saucepan on medium heat mix 
       sugar, water and butter. Bring to low heat, stirring until sugar is 
       dissolved.  Do not boil.  Add vanilla extract.
9.    When cake is still very hot, leave in the Bundt pan. Poke small holes
       on top.
10.  Drizzle butter sauce over the cake. Leave for about 10 minutes. Then 
       turn out onto serving plate. Poke holes on the other top and side of 
       cake.  Brush glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb the glaze 
       and repeat until all glaze is used.  Serve warm.


You can also dust the top with icing sugar or cocoa powder for a more elaborate effect.

Can also be decorated into a very special designed BIRTHDAY CAKE.


A very special friend contributed generously for this signature birthday 
cake (From All About Butter) for our charity purpose. 

Thank you so much Datuk Seri Dr K Govindan for your generous 
contribution and support towards our mission to help the unfortunates in the society!  
More importantly thank you for placing your trust in what we are doing. 


I like to share some meaningful quotes about charity in line with what we do:


    *Extreme poverty is one of the most pressing issues of our age.  It is the source of 
     much of the world's suffering and makes mere survival into a struggle.

    *If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives.

    *The highest use of capital is not to make more money but to make money do more for 
     the betterment of life.



Last but not least, this is a cut piece of the moist and buttery Bundt cake. Enjoy!
