Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Brown the Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter and granulated sugar. Beat until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    Mix Together

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the mini bundt pans and fill them with the batter, about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
