... dude, what the hell is butter cake? That sounds like some Wilford Brimley stuff. I want it. As best as I can tell it's a cake (similar to pound cake) using ample amounts of butter as well as basic ingredients such as flour and eggs. There's a variant called "gooey butter cake" which is similar to coffee cake and sometimes uses cream cheese in addition to butter. I just discovered butter cake/gooey butter cake yesterday. I saw something labelled "Ooey Gooey Butter Cake" at my local grocery store. I got one, tried it, and said, "Next time we go, I want another butter cake!"
