BUTTER CAKE

Even though i am not a  perfect baker i do try most of the cakes. When i made this cake for the first time it became soggy and didnt taste good also. But i never left it.Made a deep study on all my faults and then started up with a new one.Finally it turned up to be perfect and each one in my family enjoyed having it and appreciated me for the 2nd trial.

INGREDIENTS

  • Cooking Butter                                185gms(1/2cup)
  • Sugar                                               3/4cup
  • Maida                                              11/2cups
  • Egg                                                  3 large
  • Vanila essence                                 11/2teaspn
  • Baking powder                                1teaspoon   
  • Milk                                                  3tbspn  
  • Salt                                                   1/4teaspn


  1. Bring in the butter to room temperature(do not heat it so that it may get melted quikly as this procedure would never bring out the result) 
  2. In a bowl whisk eggs,milk and vanilla with a spoon.
  3. In another bowl place the dry ingredients ie.maida(seived),sugar,baking powder,salt etc and blend well with a  hand mixer for about  30sec to 1 min.To this add in butter(cut into pieces ),half egg mix etc and blend again untill everything gets moistened.Now increase the speed to medium and blend for 1 min. Add in next half of the egg mix and beat for another 30sec.Finally add in the balance egg mix and beat untill it becomes silky and smooth.
  4. Take a greased cake mould and pour the batter to it and tap it so as to get rid of the air inside.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180deg celsius and place the mould into the microwave and set the timing for about 55-60mins  
  6. When the sides of the cake leaves out of the mould it shows that the cake is baked and once its cooled up flip it to a wire rack and serve.


NOTE:
Eggs,butter,milk etc has to be in room temperature.
            
  1. With the help of a tooth pick check whether its cooked, if it comes out clear take it away and let it cool.
  2. Once its cooled demould it and cut into desired shapes.
