Butter cakes are a classic favorite, cherished for their rich flavor and moist texture. This basic butter cake recipe is simple to follow and results in a delicious, buttery cake that can be enjoyed on its own or adorned with your favorite frosting.
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps them blend more smoothly and evenly.
- When measuring flour, use the spoon and level method to avoid packing it down, which can result in a denser cake.
- Do not overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake light and airy.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, your cake is ready.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of almond extract to the batter.
Now that you’ve baked your basic butter cake, let it cool completely before serving or frosting. Whether you enjoy it plain, or add a layer of your favorite icing, this cake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Happy baking!
