Butter Cake/ Bakery Style Butter Cake
Butter Cake is a cake in which butter is the key ingredient with other essential cake ingredients. It has a beautifully browned crumb with a soft texture inside. Best served any time of the day and at parties.
Ingredients
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 450 g caster sugar
- 310 g unsalted butter
- 8 eggs
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 8 tablespoon whole milk
- 2 pinch salt
Instructions
- In a wide add room temperature butter (softened butter ) and sugar.
- Beat it on low to medium speed in an electric hand beater until it combines well. To it, add eggs and beat well. Make it a note, add one egg at a time, and beat on low speed.
- The consistency has to be creamy, as shown in the picture.
- Sift all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients.
- Beat the flour mixture on medium speed in an electric hand mixer. You can also mix with a spatula to mix the cake batter. Use the cut-and-fold method while using a spatula. The cake batter will be slightly thick. To loosen the batter, add milk a little at a time until you reach the perfect smooth cake batter, as shown in the picture.
- Finally, add vanilla extract and gently fold until it is well combined.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180 C (356F). Grease the mould with butter and line it with parchment paper. Transfer the cake batter to two square cake moulds (20.3 *20.3 * 7.6 cm). Gently smoothen the surface with a spatula and tap the tray on the kitchen counter to remove air pockets in the cake batter.
- Bake it in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes clean. Transfer it to a cooling rack. Remove the parchment paper and let it cool completely.
- Slice and serve it with a cuppa of coffee or milk for morning breakfast, snack, or dessert. It is perfect for a kid's snack box.
Notes
- All the ingredients should be at room temperature.
- If square tin is not available, use 2 round pan of 9" inch in size.
- Use whole fat milk to achieve the richness in taste and golden brown colour of the cake.
- Every oven behaves differently, so have an eye after 20 minutes.
