COOKIE BUTTER BUNDT CAKE WITH COOKIE BUTTER GANACHE

I recently had a fb reader ask for help finding a cookie butter cake recipe. I found this one and suggested it to her. Perhaps you would like it, too. I have not tried it so I have no recommendation one way or the other but it sounds good.

Cake

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2½ cups sugar
• 1 cup butter, unsalted and at room temp
• 1 cup Cookie Butter
• 4 eggs
• ½ cup milk

Ganache

• 10oz semi-sweet chocolate
• ⅓ cup Cookie Butter
• ¾ cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350º. Grease and flour Bundt pan.
2. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In a stand mixer, cream together sugar, butter and Cookie Butter. Add eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is thoroughly incorporated. Add milk.
4. By the heaping spoonful, add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until combined.
5. Pour batter into Bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
6. Allow the cake to cool completely before coating with ganache.
7. For ganache heat chocolate, Cookie Butter and cream over low heat until smooth and silky. Allow to cool for three to four minutes before pouring over cake.
8. Pour ganache around the top of the cake, using a spoon to nudge it in the direction you want it to drip. Make sure to lick the ganache spoon when you are done. It's the right thing to do.

Note: This recipe is from Melanie at A Beautiful Bite. She gets her cookie butter at Trader Joe's. All the reviews I have seen on this cake are 5 stars.
