Butter Cake

A simple yet delicious afternoon tea treat. The best part of all, its easy to make.

Ingredients:

250 grams          Unsalted butter, softened
225 grams          Cake flour
225 grams          Sugar
5                         Eggs
1 tsp                   Baking powder
1 tsp                   Vanilla extract
3/4 tsp                Salt

How to do it?

Pre-heat oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 8" round cake tin.

Sift together cake flour, salt and baking powder. Using a balloon whisk, simply stir to combine.

Cream the softened butter until it is creamy. Add in sugar and continue  to beat until light and fluffy. Once it is done, add in the eggs, one at a time and mixed well after each addition to prevent the mixture from curdle.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three batches. Fold well after each batch.

Pour the cake batter into the cake tin and lightly swirl the tin in circular motion to evenly distribute  the cake batter in the tin. Lightly tap the tin on the table to get rid of large air bubble trap inside the batter.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for 40 - 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes and turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool. This cake is best served warm.
