BONNIE BUTTER CAKE WITH ITALIAN MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
I had been looking for a good butter cake recipes for years when I found this recipe. I found this recipe in an old recipe box in a kitchen used for therapies at the hospital I work for. This cake is frosted with an Italian Meringue Butter Cream that I found at www.cakejournal.com . This is Jim's favorite frosting!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. Grease & flour a pan; 13x9x2 or two 9 inch round or three 8 inch round layer pans.
- 3. In large mixer bowl beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Beat 5 minutes on high speed scraping bowl occasionally.
- 4. Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
- 5. On low speed mix in flour alternatively with milk. Do not over beat.
- 6. Bake oblong pan 45 minutes, layer pans 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. ***Note*** I have chosen to make three 8 inch layers.
- 7. Make Italian Merguine Buttercream Frosting. You will need to use your stand mixer. ***Note*** I have cut the original recipe in half for my cake. Half the recipe will frost the cake easily. If your decorating a cake then double this recipe.
- 8. In the large bowl of your stand mixer with the wire wisk attachment add the egg whites. Beat for two minutes.
- 9. In a sauce pan bring water and sugar to a boil. Boil for seven minutes. This is your syrup.
- 10. Slowly add the syrup to the egg whites with the mixer going on high. Continue to beat for 10 minutes.
- 11. Remove your wire whisk attachment and add your paddle attachment. With mixer on high speed adding the butter a few chunks at a time until all butter is added. Stop the mixer and scrap bowl twice.
- 12. Add vanilla. Beat again.
- 13. Use 1/2 cup of frosting and add 2 tablespoons of raspberry seedless jam. I also added a tablespoon of Chambord! Using 1/2 cup of the frosting add 2 ounces of melted sweet chocolate. Make sure the chocolate is cooled down before adding to the frosting. Beat.
- 14. Cut one cake in half to make two layers. Spread the raspberry frosting on one cake and place the other half back on top. Do the same with the chocolate.
- 15. Now we have two cakes each with a filling. Place a cake on your favorite cake plate.
- 16. Use 1/2 cup of the frosting spread this on the cake. Place the other cake on top of this cake.
- 17. Gently frost the rest of your cake with the remainder of the frosting.
- 18. NOTE: Double the frosting recipe if you making a layer cake.
