For some reason I cannot make a decent sugar cookie to save my life, and that’s when I turn to this recipe. It’s yummy with whipped cream (OK, I used Cool Whip — sue me) and berries, it’s awesome with some lemon curd spread on top, and I want to make a raspberry sauce to drizzle on top before the cake is all gone. You could add chocolate or toffee chips, cinnamon, heck even blueberries in the batter would probably be amazing. It’s one versatile little cake and I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we do!
Sugar Cookie Cake
3/4 c. cold butter
3 c. flour
1 1/2 c. buttermilk *
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking sodaPreheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar, and flour into crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of crumbs. Add 1 tsp. of baking soda to the buttermilk, and then add this to the rest of the crumbs. Add in the eggs and vanilla; mix well and pour into a greased 9×13″ pan. Top with the 1 cup reserved crumbs.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes (or until cake tester comes out clean).
I find that this cake tastes best warm, so if you’re not eating it straight from the oven, just warm it for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave.
* I rarely have buttermilk on hand. As a substitution for use in this recipe, add 1 1/2 Tbsp. of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup and then fill it until the 1 1/2 cups mark. I’ve used both types of acid with successful results, so use what you have on hand.
OMG… I am going to sooooo have to make this… but sugar free… drool… omg drool…
Look delicious. I am definitely going to try this!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. I definitely want to try making this cake recipe. It would be *so* delicious for spring and summer, especially with fresh fruit! Mmm, whipped cream. And easy, too!
ok, I got a splenda version of this in the oven right now… added an extra egg and 2 more tablespoons of butter to ad the extra moisture that the splenda needs… but I didn’t have plain vinger so I used half apple cider and half pineapple juice (it has acid in it lol)… the batter tastes good…
I am anxious to try this as a baby cake maker. However, I live at 10,000 feet above sea level will I need to make any changes to it?
Your recipe looks fantastic! Do you think I could make it on a round cookie sheet? I’m trying to make a cookie pizza for my sons Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party. Thanks!
Do you think this recipe would be good with a lemon drizzle?
