1. Cake batter
- Mix well all purpose flour with baking powder. Sieve the flour to a mixing bowl. Left aside
- In another bowl, add soften butter and sugar, use egg beater to beat at low speed until the sugar well combined with butter.
Note: because butter is the main ingredient of this cake so you should choose the high quality butter for mouthful flavor.
- Increase the egg beater speed to medium and continue to beat in 3-5 minutes (until the butter turn to light yellow color). Often use the spatula to dredge ingredient.
- Beat an egg and add to butter bowl. Use egg beater to mix it well (it takes 10s-15s per egg). Repeat this step with other eggs.
- While beating the ingredient with egg beater, slowly add every spoon of mixed flour to mixing bowl.
- Then slowly pour milk and vanilla extract to batter bowl and beat at low speed until they are completely combined.
- Preheat the oven at 170 Celcius degree for 10 min.
- Brush a thin layer of oil inside the loaf pan. Then spread a small amount of flour to bottom and edges (for anti-sticking)
- Pour the cake batter to anti-stick loaf pan and bring to bake.
2. Baking
- Put the loaf pan in the center of oven and bake at 170 Celcius degree for 50-60 min.
- Rememeber to check the cake after ½ total baking time. You can use an aluminum foil to put on the pan to avoid burning surface.
- Remove well-baked cake from oven and test again with cake tester or a chopstick.
- Brush a thin layer of melted butter (can use 5 gr butter and melt in microwave) when the cake is still hot.
- Remove the cake from pan and cool on rack.
- Use a knife to cut butter cake to slice. Enhance the cake flavour by serving with sour-fruit syrups (you can find many fruit syrups recipes here)
