   This sounds amazing! I’d be shocked if the people you manage don’t think you’re the best boss ever!

     Ha, I’m ok with bribing them with baked goods into feeling that way 🙂

   I wish my boss would do something like this for us. This cake sounds phenomenal! Anything that tastes like a donut gets an A+ from me!

     I had a boss once who would bring a store bought cake and cut it into the same number of pieces as there were people at the meeting. And he made us sing. It was horrible.

   Definitely the best boss when you get homemade cakes that have been compared to a glazed donut! Congrats!!

     I have no idea why it’s called Kentucky butter cake. I did a quick Google search and it doesn’t look like anyone knows.

   I’m glad there’s no explanation as to why it’s called a Kentucky Butter Cake, because I am making this for a themed food fest at work next week, and I’m changing it to Hawaiian Butter Cake so that I don’t have to find another recipe. 🙂

     For sure! I have already started asking my team members who have May birthdays about what they’d like. One said anything with chocolate. One said anything but chocolate. So that’s going to be a challenge! Luckily I’m the only June birthday so I’m going to go all out for June!

   Ever seen The Office? Hehe… they looove birthday parties! And that’s so sweet that you’re acknowledging your workers like that. I’m sure you’re a great boss!

     Ha – if only we could all have parties like they do on The Office…

    best boss ever 🙂 this looks fantastic!! we have birthday buddies that we bring cake for, and it’s a pretty awesome tradition 🙂

      Oh I like the birthday buddies idea! I’m not sure that would work for my team since it’s ~80% guys… I do joke that everyone needs a buddy cause sometimes I look around and can’t tell who we’re missing. It would be a lot easier to just ask if everyone’s buddy was here like when we were kids on field trips.

    i made this on Friday for a brunch on Saturday. It was delicious and I got lots of compliments! I was surprised when i made it because there were no instructions about adding the butter to the batter. I assumed that the butter should be softened and mixed in, but I would’ve expected it to be mixed in earlier so that it would incorporate more fully. You might consider adding clarification to that step.

      Glad you enjoyed the cake. The second sentence in the second step talks about adding the butter. Are the instructions confusing?

    I think I’ve seen this recipe elsewhere on the interwebs… (of course my eye is drawn to anything Kentucky, my home state!) Glad to hear it’s so good!

      It’s definitely out there on the web! I couldn’t find any info about why it’s called Kentucky Butter Cake though. Do you know anything about it? Do you guys eat it in Kentucky?

    So the glaze is on the bottom of the cake correct? You don’t reserve any to pour over the top?

    • 

      beantownbaker — May 13th, 2013 @ 8:24 am

      Yep, you pour it all in to the bottom of the cake while it’s in the pan.

    Hi there! Wonderful cake. Just wondering — did you let the cake sit overnight with the syrup soaking?

    • 

      beantownbaker — September 10th, 2013 @ 7:58 am

      Yep, I let the cake sit overnight after adding the syrup.
