California Pizza Kitchen Copycat Butter Cake

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Butter the sides and bottom of the cake pan. Take 1-2 teaspoons of sugar and sprinkle it over the bottom and sides of the cake pan.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and beat with the sugar until fluffy.

Step 3

Gradually beat in the flour and baking powder until combined with the butter/sugar mixture.

Step 4

Add eggs in one at a time. Beat in vanilla and almond extract. Add buttermilk and beat until the batter is light and fluffy.

Step 5

Pour batter into a prepared cake pan, and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the cake is golden. It is done when a wooden skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

Let cake cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool further.

Step 7

Serve with vanilla ice cream.
