a friend and ex NYC guy was talking about NY butter cake and this is how he describes it: a soft white cake with butter flakes baked on top

I remember all the other NYC food stuff we've been talking about but I don't remember this cake. evidently it was sold in coffe shops and bakeries. every search I do for a NY butter cake comes up with something very different than this description and I'm stumped and intrigued all at the same time.

 
that's what I thought he was talking about too. I'll email him the recipe

and see if he thinks this is what he remembers. it was NY crumb cake and NY butter cake, I already sent him the recipe you just linked to for the crumb cake smileys/smile.gif

I as also thinking it might be a Moravian Sugar cake.

thanks
