Bake-Off® Contest 15, 1963
This was the year the contest became popularly known simply as "the BakeOff®." Old family recipes were still eligible, if they had a new twist. Here the idea was the hot butter sauce poured slowly over the buttermilk pound cake as it came from the oven.
CAKE
_ cups all-purpose flour
_ cups sugar
_ teaspoon salt
_ teaspoon baking powder
___ teaspoon baking soda
_ cup buttermilk *
_ cup butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or rum extract
BUTTER SAUCE
___ cup sugar
___ cup butter or margarine
_ tablespoons water
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or rum extract
GARNISH
_ to 3 teaspoons powdered sugar
Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease and lightly flour 12-cup Bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan. In large bowl, combine all cake ingredients; blend at low speed until
moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Pour batter into greased and floured pan.
Bake at 325°F. for 55 to 70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
In small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients; cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. DO NOT BOIL. Using long-tined fork, pierce cake 10 to 12 times. Slowly pour hot sauce over warm cake. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until sauce is absorbed. Invert cake onto serving plate. Just before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
*TIP: To substitute for buttermilk, use 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice plus milk to make 1 cup.
HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Decrease sugar in cake to 1 3/4 cups; increase buttermilk to 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons. Bake at 350°F. for 60 to 70 minutes.
