• 3/4 cup oil
• 3/4 cup water
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon butter flavoring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup nuts (optional)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon butter flavoring
• 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Recipe

• 1 beat together first four ingredients. then add eggs one at a time - ( but beat less than two minutes).
• 2 pour 1/2 batter in a 9x13 pan or bundt pan and pour 3/4 of the filling on top. pour remaining batter over filling. sprinkle remaining filling on top (not too much though as the sugar can burn).
• 3 bake at 350°f for 55 minutes (usually not this long).
• 4 glaze-----heat glaze ingredients until near boiling and glaze while cake is still warm from oven.
• 5 notes---i have found that the glaze is hit or miss, some people like it some do not. i have started experimenting with different glazes and have found that a thicker glaze works better for my taste -- dh says it doesn't even need a glaze the cake is so good!
