Alright, y’all. I made this yesterday. My book didn’t have the error mentioned on the errata page (when to add the infused butter). BUT, my ingredients list mentions 8 tbsp butter + 1 for piping and my instructions only mentioned 6 tbsp butter + 1 for piping. I googled around and all the online versions only mention 6 tbsp butter that is infused. That’s what I did and it was good. The end. 🙂

I had the same problem as to when to add the infused butter, but I just added it to the flour and it worked out well.

I made this (just the orange version) and read and re-read the recipe about 10 times. I KNOW what to do with melted butter in a pound cake recipe but I thought I was going crazy! MY ingredients ONLY list 6 tablespoons of butter but the instructions talk about the “other” 1 tablespoon. Talk abut confusion! Thanks for posting the link to the errata page – I hadn’t seen that before!

I’ll be making it in the next few days. Thanks for the heads up. Very helpful!

Mine is in the oven now. I didn’t even notice the discrepency. Just followed the quantities in the instructions. I’m confused about what happens to the bay leaves after the cake comes out of the oven. They’re on the bottom. Do I take them off with the parchment? Or flip the cake over and pour the glaze over the bottom so it’s decorative? We don’t eat bay leaves so I’m unsure. What say you?

I’d like to know too! I have been considering leaving the bay leaves off because of my uncertainty.

I took them off as we ate it. Served it top side up with the glaze there as well. I think when I did my internet wanderings that people generally served it that way.

My instructions don’t actually say what to do with the infused butter though… Like, you melt it and all but then there’s no instruction on when to add it! (I knew but still… )

I did the same as I sliced the cake.

Thanks Katie and Ro. I finished it before I saw any responses. I glazed the top and served it with the bay leaves hidden. Then they stayed nicely on the plate when I sliced and served (myself).

It seems like a lot of extra fuss (in what’s a simple recipe) for something that noone was going to see (or eat) anyway!
