Best Butter Cake

Baking is my newest hobby. So far I have tried lots of recipes and most of them came well. I tried making a butter cake before but I couldn't make it properly with the height because I didn't turn on the both elements of the oven. I wanted to make a perfect butter cake. So for this new year I planned to make a butter cake. I found a good recipe and I followed all the steps correctly this time.

For 1 kg of Cake

I used

250g All purpose flour/ cake flour
250g white sugar
250g Butter/ Magarine
250 g eggs./ 4 eggs
Vanila
Baking Powder
Fresh milk

Earlier I couldn't bake my cake with proper height because I didn't use correct oven settings. This time i didn't do any wrong.

First I beat egg whites separately and kept it aside.

First beat the butter / Astra Magarine on a bowl until it gets a white texture.

Separate egg whites and yolks.

Add sugar and beat well. Add sugar little by little . Don't add ones. Sugar should mix well with butter
Then add vanila and two table spoons of fresh milk and mix well. Meanwhile I set oven to preheat for 15 mins under 180°C .

(Beat egg whites)

Put an oil paper to a tray and put the mixture. Spread well and tap few times to remove air bubbles.

Bake the cake for 30-35 mins under 180°C. This time may depend on the type of your oven.

I could make my most successful buttercake this time. Taste and texture came well. I hope next time I could do better than this. I'm planning to make a ribbon cake next time with Icing. Chocolate cake and ribbon cakes are my favourites.

Nowadays we have to spend a considerably high amount for foods. Making a cake at home also cost a lot but it's economical and tasty. So this time I was able to put my own cake to Our Awurudu table.
