Recipe for "Easy Butter Cake"

Tips

Baking time varies depending on the size of the pans. Try checking the cake after 20 minutes.

Try adding 2 tablespoons of orange juice with a zest of one orange for a change!

Spread some strawberry jam in between to layers of the cake to make a sandwich cake :)

Add chocolate chips to make a chocolate chip butter cake! Yummy!

Be creative!

Ingredients

Butter (Salted Or Unsalted) - Room Temperature 125g
Sugar 1 cup
Eggs, Large - Room Temperature 2
Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
Milk (Full Cream/fresh/low-Fat) - Room Temperature 1 cup
Self-Raising Flour (Or 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour + 4 Teaspoons Baking Powder) 2 cups

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius. Grease and line a square 8 inch baking pan or a loaf tin (shown in the photo).

(Panaskan ketuhar pada suhu 180 darjah Celcius. Sapu minyak atau mentega dalam loyang dan alaskan dengan kertas minyak - seperti dalam foto.)

2

In a bowl using a wooden spoon cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.

(Pukul mentega dan gula hingga sedikit pucat dan kembang.)

3

Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.

(Masukkan telur dan esen vanila dan pukul hingga sebati.)

4

Add 1/3 of the flour and 1/2 cup of milk. Stir until no flour is visible.

(Masukkan 1/3 daripada 2 cawan tepung dan 1/2 cawan susu. Kacau sehingga tepung tidak kelihatan.)

5

Add another 1/3 of the flour and the remaining 1/2 cup of milk. Stir until no flour is visible.

(Masukkan lagi 1/3 daripada 2 cawan tepung dan baki 1/2 cawan susu. Kacau sehingga tepung tidak kelihatan)

6

Add the final 1/3 of the flour and stir until no flour is visible.

(Masukkan baki tepung dan kacau sehingga tepung tidak kelihatan.)

7

If the batter looks a little lumpy, it's okay.

(Sekiranya adunan agak berketul, tidak perlu risau.)

8

Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 25-30 minutes. Poke the center of the cake with a skewer or a knife after 25 minutes. If it comes out clean, remove from the oven. Bake for another 3 minutes if you want the top to be brown and have a slight crunch.

Making cupcakes? Check after 20 minutes.

(Tuankan adunan ke dalam loyang dan bakar selama 25-30 minit. Cucuk tengah kek dengan lidi atau pisau selepas 25 minit. Sekiranya tiada adunan yang melekat, keluarkan dari ketuhar. Untuk kek yang lebih garing, bakar selama 3 minit lagi.

Untuk kek cawan, cucuk dengan lidi atau pisau selepas 20 minit.)
