Butter cake is a classic and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Its rich, buttery flavor and moist texture make it a favorite among cake lovers. This simple yet delightful recipe requires only a handful of common ingredients, making it easy to whip up whenever you crave a comforting, homemade treat.
- Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and a more even texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly until the mixture is light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the batter is well combined.
- Sift the self-raising flour to avoid any lumps and achieve a finer texture.
- Alternate between adding the flour and milk to the batter, starting and ending with the flour. This helps to maintain the batter's consistency.
- Do not overmix the batter once all ingredients are combined; this can make the cake dense and tough.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature and bake the cake in the center of the oven for even cooking.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake to check for doneness. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Your butter cake is now ready to be enjoyed! Whether you serve it plain, with a dusting of powdered sugar, or paired with your favorite frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. The combination of its tender crumb and buttery richness makes it an irresistible dessert that will have everyone asking for seconds.
