Intero Brown Butter Cake Price

Intero's Brown Butter Cake is a layered cake with a salted buttercream frosting. Intero creates this dessert using beurre noisette, or brown butter, and slowly heating butter until the milk solids toast and develop a nutty aroma. This rich, fragrant butter is then incorporated into the cake batter. The baked cake layers are assembled with a contrasting salted buttercream, which balances the sweetness of the cake. The Intero Brown Butter Cake price is $8.00.

This cake offers a sophisticated, nutty flavor profile that differs from more traditional Italian desserts like tiramisu. The Brown Butter Cake can be compared to the inventive desserts at other Austin farm-to-table restaurants like Odd Duck. The dessert serves as a final course after one of Intero's savory main dishes, like the house-made Papardelle, Lasagna, or the rich Porchetta. The cake’s balanced profile, with nutty brown butter and salted buttercream, offers a sweet and savory conclusion to a meal.

Brown butter is a foundational technique in French pastry. The application in a layered American-style cake is a modern interpretation. The dessert is available at Intero, a restaurant that opened in 2018 with a focus on farm-to-table sourcing and whole-ingredient sustainability. The innovation and accountability of the restaurant are reflected in its simple, technique-driven menu items.
