Homemade buttercake

Homemade buttercake is a classic and delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery flavor and soft, tender crumb, it's a favorite among cake lovers. This easy-to-follow recipe requires just a few basic ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Beat in the vanilla extract. Then add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue to beat the mixture until it's well combined and smooth.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the self-raising flour into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour, mixing just until combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
5. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top and spring back when lightly pressed.
7. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve: Once cooled, your homemade buttercake is ready to be served. Enjoy it plain, or with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.

- For a lighter cake, sift the self-raising flour before adding it to the mixture.

- Do not overmix the batter once you've added the flour; this can make the cake dense.

- Use 1% fat milk for a lighter texture, but whole milk can be substituted for a richer flavor.

- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.

There you have it, a delicious homemade buttercake that is simple to make and sure to impress. Whether you're baking for a special event or just a sweet treat for yourself, this buttercake is a reliable recipe that's bound to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy your baking!
