Kentucky Derby Mint Julep Cake Recipe:

With all of the elements of a Southern mint julep cocktail, this cake is perfect for Kentucky Derby Day. The rich pound cake has a white chocolate ganache frosting with a light mint flavor to complement the bourbon butter sauce infused in the cake. Don't wait for Kentucky Derby Day to make this cake. Even without the bourbon butter sauce and/or creme de menthe frosting, the cake will shine with a simple dusting of powdered sugar. For a sheet cake, shorten the cooking time to 35 to 40 minutes.

Ingredients:

Cake:

3 cups cake flour

2 cups white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 eggs

.

Bourbon Butter Sauce:

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/3 cup butter

3 tablespoons water

2 teaspoons Bourbon whiskey

.

Mint Frosting:

2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) white chocolate chips

1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)

1 teaspoon white creme de menthe liqueur or 1/2 tsp mint extract

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

Cake:

Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl * Make a Well in the center

In a separate smaller bowl, combine buttermilk, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs.

Add wet ingredients to flour mixture. Beat at low speed for 1 minute, then increase to medium speed for 3 more minutes. Pour into prepared pan and smooth evenly around bundt center

Bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Ten minutes before cake is done, prepare Bourbon Butter Sauce.

Bourbon Butter Sauce:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/3 cup butter, and 3 tablespoons water. Stir until melted and combined. Do not boil. Remove from heat, continuing to stir for 2 minutes. Then stir in Bourbon.

When cake is done and still warm from the oven, use a skewer to poke holes around the top of the cake. Pour Bourbon butter sauce evenly over the top of the cake. Let cake cool to room temperature in the pan before removing.

Mint Frosting:

Melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until chips are melted. Remove from heat and stir in creme de menthe liqueur (or mint extract). Let cool for 10 minutes, then spread evenly over the cooled cake. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Chill to set chocolate ganache. Take cake out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cutting to serve.

yield: 12 to 18 servings, depending on slice cut

Note: You may substitute green creme de menthe for the white, however the color may not be appealing. Just add a drop or two of green food coloring.

If you are asking about the cake make by a woman baker in Louisville with Paula Deens sons, then this is what I have. It's called Louie's Derby Cake and I didn't get the exact directions. I got this from another answerer. Brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and chopped pecans in bottom of 3in. high cake pan. She had no measurements. Butter cake batter on top. No directions, but I know how to make a butter cake. ( pkg. mix is fine ) Bake 45 min. at 325. Sprinkle Bourbon on cake side. Cool and invert. Drizzle choc. on top. I hope this helps. If you have the measurements for the sugar, cream, etc. I would sure like to have them. Thanks
