My dad loved Mastro’s. It was his favorite restaurant of all time. Mastro’s is a pretty swanky spot. In other words, it is really fancy. We were invited to a family members birthday party at Mastro’s in Beverly Hills, on the night of the Golden Globes, and we caught a glimpse of Bradley Cooper having dinner after the awards show.

Now when I made this copycat version of Mastro’s Warm Butter Cake, I gave each family member a serving, and I did not hear a peep! I heard spoons clinking against the plates, but no words being said. And my mother-in-law was there, and she loves to talk! So I went into the room and asked them all if they liked it. Still not a word. Just eating, and devouring their cake. “Hello?”

I am glad that I listened to her that day 😉 But in all seriousness, you will be shocked at how good this cake is, and how easy it is to put together. Now, you can absolutely use individual Ramekins for this recipe, but I used these Mini Springform Pans to re-create this delicious and re-known recipe. And this recipe, says that you can make 4 servings from this, but I managed to make 6. This batter, uses a lot of butter, and for this, you should use the good stuff. Do not attempt this recipe with plain old margarine.

The secret is to not fill them up with batter to full, or there will be a big mess. Good quality Pure Vanilla Extract makes all the difference in the world. I used canned peaches to garnish with, but feel free to use fresh sliced peaches. Your guests will be begging you for this recipe, I promise!

Copycat Mastro's Warm Butter Cake

Ingredients

  • CAKE BATTER INGREDIENTS
  • (Makes 4-6 cakes)
  • 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • CREAM CHEESE LAYER INGREDIENTS
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. PREPARE THE CAKE BATTER:
  3. In a stand mixer cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar for 1-2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat on low for 20 seconds after each addition. Add vanilla, and mix just until combined. Whisk flour and salt together in a small bowl, then add to creamed cake mixture. Beat on low until just incorporated, making sure not to over beat.
  4. PREPARE THE CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
  5. In a small bowl whip together cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamed, add egg and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour cake batter into prepared springform pans then top with a layer of the cream cheese mixture. I was able to place about 1/2 cup of cake batter and 1/4 cup of cream cheese layer in each pan. Be sure not to overfill. Bake for 60 – 75 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cakes.
  7. Gently remove cakes from pans, and place on plates, and top with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Garnish plate with sliced strawberries, and peaches, and top ice cream with a sprig of mint.
