Butter Cake Recipe

        I have a passion in baking since childhood. My mother was a pro in baking cakes and she accompanied me in baking since I was 5-6 years old. The batter mixing and the smell of cake baking made a huge difference in my interest in baking. Here is my Butter Cake recipe inherited from my mother for you all to give it a try. This recipe is so simple, and the perfection lies in measuring the ingredients and mixing the batter. A moist and soft butter cake will be received to you in a very short time. This is great for a tea-time with your loved ones while remembering your favorite moments in your lives.

Make sure you engaged your kids and loved ones with you to mix the batter. Batter tastes great too ;) You won't regret it.

Ingredients for 1kg Butter Cake

Butter or Margarine 250g (at room temperature)

Plain flour or Cake flour 250g

Sugra (slightly ground) 250g

Eggs 250g (~5 eggs)

Baking powder 1.5 tsp

Fresh Milk 2 tsp

Vanilla essence 2 tsp

Method

• Prepare the cake pan by greasing it with margarine and lining it with oil papers.
• Sift the flour and baking powder together for 3 times (to mix the powder with flour well) and set aside.
• Beat the butter or margarine for 2 minutes at the medium speed.
• Mix slightly ground sugar to the butter and beat them together.
• After the sugar started to halfway dissolved, add eggs one by one and beat the mixture. 
• Preheat the oven at 180' C before the baking of the cake.
• Once the mixture is fully mixed remove the beater.
• Add the flour mixture in batch-wise and fold the batter with a spatula to the same direction the beater was used (do not use a beater).
• After fully incorporating the flour mixture, add vanilla essence and fresh milk, and fold the batter the same way before.

Now your butter cake batter is ready !

• Pour the cake batter into the prepped baking pan and level the cake batter evenly.
• Tap the pan 2-3 times on the pantry allowing the air bubbles to remove.
• Once all done, the batter is ready to go into the oven.

• Place the cake pan in the oven after it is pre-heated for around 10-15 minutes.
• Set the timer for 40-45 minutes or until it is fully baked.
• Wait until the cake to becomes golden brown.
• Then insert a skewer into the middle of the cake and take out. If it comes out clean (with no batter) the cake is perfectly baked !

Pro tips:

• Measure the ingredients correctly.
• Use the butter at the room temperature or slightly lower temperature.
• Do not overbeat the batter until the oil comes out.
• Preheat the oven at least for 10-15 minutes.
• Do not beat the batter while the flour is being mixed.
