I found the information on adding glaze here very helpful and timely. I baked layers of butter cake for a party last weekend. I needed one layer for the bottom of a strawberry charlotte I was taking to a party but the day before we had one of the layers for dessert. The layer seemed a little dry. I used the idea of the glaze (reduced the vanilla) for the cake to go in the charlotte. It worked out very well.... not dry. I wasn't sure how much to brush on so I used less than the full amount listed in the above recipe.
