We were inspired by this Blue-Ribbon Butter Cake and are happy to report that substituting ghee works well!

Cake
1 cup Kelapo ghee, soft
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk

In a large bowl, mix the ghee and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Then beat in the vanilla.

Next, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.

Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 55-70 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges and center tube of pan. Invert cake onto a wire rack over waxed paper.

Butter Glaze
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Kelapo ghee
1/4 cup water
1-1/2 tsp almond extract
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For sauce, combine the sugar, butter and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat just until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in extracts.

Poke holes in the top of the warm cake; spoon 1/4 cup sauce over cake. Let stand until sauce is absorbed. Repeat twice. Poke holes into sides of cake; brush remaining sauce over sides. Cool completely.
