Famous Butter Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. - Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes). - Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. - Combine Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. - Bake:
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool:
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. - Serve:
Once cooled, frost with your favorite buttercream or enjoy plain with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
- For extra flavor, consider adding lemon or almond extract to the batter.
- This cake can also be layered with fruit or jam for added taste.
