I tend to agree with Nana Ling that this butter cake recipe has a high quality to it.
These cookies are a little softer and chewier than the mass-produced version you can find at the supermarket, Arnott's Butternut Snap Cookies.
But the delicious butter and coconut flavors that give Butternut Snap Cookies their name are unmistakable in this homemade version and make them irresistible.
You have been warned!
This buttercream cake recipe makes a healthy cake that will remind you of years gone by.
Make a batch and enjoy it over a cup of tea and a good book.
