Hi!

Does anyone have a good...well great recipe for a vanilla butter cake or one that uses vanilla bean?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Ally

I believe the latest issue of BonApetit has a good vanilla bean cake/cupcake recipe....my daughter made cupcakes for Easter and it was fantastic!

This one is good:

and this one I LOVE! Just use vanilla bean opposed to the Creme Bouquet (a lemon/citrus/almond extract)

Thank you so much! I am going to give these a try!

No I don't Jen, but want to get an issue of my own - when I do I will type it up for you

Jen, I found it:

http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2009/04/vanilla_bean_coconut_cupcakes_with_coconut_frosting

Now this is for cupcakes, but I am sure you can put it in cake pans.

I always make the wasc cake but turn it into WBSC (White Butter Sour Cream Cake). Leave out the almond extract and replace it with butter extract!

Oh, Deb, thank you so much. Those look so good.
