This was a very easy quick delicious recipe….only thing I changed is I did a cup and a half of flower and I added a tablespoon of vanilla extract

Delicious especially with ice cream - OMG! Family liked it but some thought it still a dry dessert. To me, it tastes like a sugar cookie with the consistency of a brownie. Will make this again but next time I am going to make it an ice cream cake.

Made exactly per recipe. my daughter and i both thought it was awesome. Tasted like a good shortbread except a bit softer or chewier. So easy to make.

The texture was more like a cookie or pie crust than a cake. In fact, I may use this recipe as a crust in the future.

Wow! So simple and so delicious! I followed the recipe but plan to make it again with the egg wash and sprinkled sugar on top. I used a 10 inch round springform pan lined with foil and followed the instructions from a reviewer to drop on the counter a couple of times after baking. Incredibly rich!

Pretty tasty for what it was; those who like butter loved it, the rest of us either liked it or thought the butter a bit too much. Baked in a 9 in. round cake pan- easy to know when it’s done thanks to description.

Beautiful and delicious cake! I used raw cane sugar, along with the fancy butter mentioned, and made it in a 9” glass pie plate! I did brush it with the beaten egg, too it turned out a nice color, and was rich, and buttery! I added 1/2 tsp of almond and 1/2 tsp of vanilla, also mentioned in comments! Very very good!

This recipe is simple and you can't go wrong if you follow the directions. The cake is tender and full of buttery flavor. I have to say I was a little skeptical at first when I was reading the recipe and great reviews, just because this cake has so few ingredients, It's not your typical cake, maybe moreso a cookie, but regardless, it is truly delicious, and I would make it again and again... and definitely be sure to use higher quality ingredients, bc it does make a difference.

Love it! I put them in cupcake holders instead and they still came out great! We ate it straight out of the oven with cookie dough ice cream and it was LIFE CHANGING!!!!
It'll get really solid once you put it in the fridge, though, but still tasty. So if you're bringing it to a party or something, bake it the day of. It's really quick and easy to make. I highly recommend it with ice cream, though!

Absolutely delicious. It reminds me of the tinned butter cookies you buy around the holidays.
I did make a couple of small changes though. I took the advice of one of the other reviewers and added about a tablespoon and a half of rootbeer. I also sprinkled the cake with granulated sugar right out of the oven.

Turns out great everytime I make it, its really an easy quick recipe. I have tried adding almond extract but it takes away from the flavor

This recipe was pretty good. It was kind of crumbly, so I recommend adding milk. I even added about two dashes of root beer out the bottle, it was good. I also recommend using almond extract. It just tastes a lot like flour, but if you're okay with that then you'll enjoy this cake.
