My grandmother worked in a German bakery in Philadelphia and I know they sold Butter cake and my parents who grew up in the 30s and 40s talked about the delicious butter cake from their youth. Philly and PA had a huge German immigrant population in the late 1800s and early 1900s, for example the Pennsylvania “Dutch” that I suspect Philadelphians were eating butter cake before people in St. Louis. Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Anne, How do I get out of the substack authorship? My grandson clicked on the start writing and now I seem to have a substack that I do not need. Any ideas of how to delete. Little fingers on my keyboard sometimes make me a little annoyed!
I can't wait to try this. I think any time of the day will do. I wanted to let you know I saved Christmas money and renewed my subscription for this year. I love your thoughts and recipes. You are so much like me that I had to do the subscription for another year. Christmas money made it possible for another year. Thank you.
Yummmmmmmmmmm. That sounds amazing, paired with the best cup of coffee, enjoyed in front of a fire, in the most comfortable chair, surrounded by loved ones and a pet or two. Thanks for the recipe and the history of the cake, too. "Kuchen" reminded me of the Dutch word "koekje" for cookie. Kuchen or koekje, I'd happily enjoy either. Or both.
I love your gooey cake recipes… I make them every few months. And gave them out at Christmas. It’s simple and decadent. I’ll stick with your original recipe. Thanks.
The recipe was from instagram (callmecandice.tv). She used a box of cornbread mix, mixed with the listed ingredients (eggs buttermilk etc)according to package directions. add
2 roasted sweet potatoes pureed with one stick melted butter;
1 tsp cinnamon sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
Pour in prepared dish. I used 10 in square and bake according to package directions. With the added potato I had to add 10 minutes baking time. Cool then add glaze.
Glaze
1/2 stick butter
2 tbsp heavy cream
1/2c brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch sea salt
Melt in saucepan and pour over corn bread. My family really liked it. I’m more of a regular cornbread person
I had a request for beef bourguignon and sweet potato cornbread of which I had never heard of but my husband saw a recipe and decided he had to have some. They were delicious on a frigid day.

The cake looks SO GOOD and I love your cobalt color serving plate!

Thank you! I've only made the version with cream cheese.
