kentucky butter cake
(2 RATINGS)
This is a cake that has been handed down on my dads side of the family and has always been a favorite. Its amazing and DOES NOT need any frosting... the butter sauce will crust over and make its own "frosting". Its also not calorie friendly, but it sure is tasty..... please enjoy!!!
