How to make it
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10- to 15-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the milk solids begin to turn golden brown. Remove the pot from the heat and continue stirring until the butter has cooled slightly.
- Transfer to a large bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon of the browned butter in a separate small bowl for the glaze.
- Add the ice cube to the larger bowl of browned butter. Set in the ice bath (making sure no water gets into the butter) and whisk for about 5 minutes, until cooled, milky in color, and thickened, but not completely solid.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add sugar to the bowl with the browned butter and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is creamy.
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla bean paste and Greek yogurt, and beat until just combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the Butterfinger Bits with a rubber spatula until incorporated
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake the cake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- While the cake cools, make the glaze: If needed, melt the reserved tablespoon of brown butter. Transfer to a medium bowl with the powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk, and whisk until smooth.
- Turn the cake out of the pan. Let cool for another 10–15 minutes, or until no longer warm to the touch.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cake. Garnish with the Butterfinger Bits.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!
