How to Make Basic Easy Butter Cake
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm square cake tin.
- Cream together 170g softened unsalted butter and 200g granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with 150ml milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake tin and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting!
