Soft and sweet cake with a delicious glaze on top, the perfect cake to go with coffee!
Whiskey Business
You're in for a treat this Magnolia Monday! Seriously. This cake tastes like shear heaven and when paired with a hot steamy cup of coffee it is literal perfection. Magnolia Bakery really outdid themselves with this one, not to mention its super easy. The longest part for this recipe was the wait to eat it! Once again I omitted the nuts in the recipe (man oh man does Magnolia love to add nuts to everything) and added my own delicious glaze on top for an added bit of sweetness.
Tip: To grease my pans I like to use saran wrap or a plastic bag to spread butter in every crevice of a pan. Then I roll around some flour all over and tap out the excess.
Example below:
Place a plastic bag or saran wrap over your hand, then scoop up some butter and lather your pan. This allows you to get into every crevice of your pan and ensures that nothing will stick when its time to remove from the pan.

I mean just look how perfect that batter looks! A gorgeous color and rich consistency.
Perfectly flat and beautifully golden! See how perfect that tip for greasing my pans works!
I started by using only a drizzle of the glaze but after applying it I realized that it simply wasn't enough. It was such a nice sweetness added to this cake that I decided to add all of it and smooth the top with an offset spatula. I let little drizzles slide down the sides just for aesthetic purposes.
