Butter Cake

Well, since I was so damn free today. I baked a cake. Yes ME... I baked a butter cake!!! Hoohooo....

Ingredients:

• 250g butter
• 210g Castor sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 200g self-raising flour, sifted with 1/2 tsp salt

Recipe says:

• Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy.
• Fold in sifted flour gradually to mix. Finally stir in milk. Mix until well combined.
• Turn out mixture into prepared tin. Level out mixture at the sides but allow a shallow well in the centre. This is to enable the cake to level up evenly during baking.
• Grease and line a 20cm cake tin with greased greaseproof paper. Preheat oven to 170°C.
• Bake in preheated oven for 55–60 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.

What I did:

• Top [L] to [R] then Bottom [L] to [R]
• Cut butter cube into small tiny cube
• Measure the exact amount of sugar required
• Add it into the mix and blend
• Blend till creamy and whitish

• Top [L] to [R] then Bottom [R] to [L]
• Measure the exact amount of flour required
• Sift into mix and blend
• Add eggs one at a time
• Blend well after each addition until mixture is light and fluffy
• Add vanilla essence

• Top [L] to [R] then Bottom [C]
• Preheat oven to 170°C
• Then bake in preheated oven for 55 minutes
• Walla! Final product - a yummylicious butter cake
