Brown Butter Cake with Cookie Dough Frosting

Oh dear, it is so hot today. I thought fall was coming in a few days yet this feels like hotter than any day we had in the summer. I barely want to move, no air conditioning and decided to bake bread today. Not the best combination given that I had to have the oven at 500 degrees.

Anyways, I made this cake well not really a few days ago, a few weeks ago now. Oops, forgot to post about it. I made it for my, then pregnant Aunt, the baby is now like two weeks old or so. Oh the frosting on this cake! Truly the exact taste of cookie dough but even better because their is no fear of eating raw eggs.

The brown butter cake that I paired with it came out to a nice combination. The cake was not overly sweet but still had that amazing rich flavor of brown butter. I'm so happy that my work introduced me to brown butter, never even having heard of it before. But the simple browning of the butter and getting those amazing little flecks at the bottom of the pan makes everything taste better. A simple would be white cake is turned into a luscious, nutty cake that would be amazing to eat on its own.

I once read not to scrape the browned flecks at the bottom of the pan when you brown butter, but that is where more of the goodness falls. Always use the flecks. Always!

Hope everyone is baring through this weather and that my Aunt enjoyed the cake! So this was a cake for the pregnancy and now I am requested to make a cake or dessert for the baby. Obviously not for the baby to eat, but you know. Haven't been able to think of something that is just right... maybe something with meringue, so it looks like clouds... Suggestions?

Urgh, whenever I go to edit a post that is already published, I accidently click "Save as Draft" and all the info gets deleted. Rewriting all the words now. Anyone know how to get that info back?? Please help lovely internet friends.

So I made this cake for my sister's birthday. So Happy Birthday Natalie. Even though we seem to never be able to have a conversation that doesn't end in one of us storming away, give each other dirty looks all the time and it seems like you will always see me as your annoying little sister, you are still my sister. So I will take the time to make you a proper birthday cake.
