DELICIOUS!! I followed the recipe exactly as is, and it turned out superb. I didnt use all of the butter sauce... I just took a spoon and lightly spread it across the top of the loaf when I took it out of the oven. I want to buy some vanilla bean ice cream tomorrow and re-heat the butter cake and throw a scoop on top! yummy! THANK YOU for such a simple and great recipe!

Made this for my sis, whose name is Susan so it seemed appropriate. Such a lucky find. Yummy. Thanks for sharing!

Hubby didn't care for the cake, but I loved it. He thought there was too much vanilla, and I have to agree. I followed the recipe as written; however, only baked for 60 min. Easy to make. I can see many variations of this recipe being equally tasty. Changing extracts, spices, or using rum. Thanks!...UPDATE: Held up well and stayed moist for the 3 days it took to polish it off.

If you used the brown sugar, pure vanilla extract and real butter, there is no way this can be tasteless. It's not an IN YOUR FACE taste - it's a nice, warm, soft taste as the name implies. Butter cake.

I have yet to make this cake but i surely intend to, my commeng is on the comments. if you cannot be decent do not lreave comments, no one is interested if you fed it to your squirrels, and us ladies do need the fat in some cases and do not need to "lighten up". Be objective, do not be petty, can't wait to try this and it will get a fair respectful review.

I saved this recipe to try it and finally did on Friday 14 May 2010 for a training meeting at our church. All of the ladies were from my Sunday school class and they didn't know there would be dessert at the meeting. They really loved it. I did not get one piece which was okay because I ate lots of ice-cream the night before already going above my sugar allowance. I had some scraps from the cake pan and it was slamming. I thought the butter sauce would make it too rich, but it added just the right touch. I think I used too much brown sugar??(I had dark brown) because the cake didn't have the yellow appearance like the picture. THAT however, was not a deterrent. Thanks. I'll do this one again for sure.

This cake is wonderful. This is my favorite cake to make and the butter sauce just adds that extra kick to it. I add an extra stick of butter to mines though.
