♥...Friday Food Review ~ Moist Butter Cake...♥

If you ask me what is my most favourite cake...my answer would be always plain Butter Cake! I was searching for the recipe throughout the net and found some interesting ones. Bookmarked a few already. So, please so bear with me if you see more butter cakes in my blog in future. Hehehe..

I'll start with a Moist Butter Cake by Ju from The Little Teochew. Guess the word moist attracted me enough to try this simple recipe BUT...truly delicious, soft, yummy cake.

MOIST BUTTER CAKE by Ju, The Little Teochew

Ingredients :~

• 195g all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt ( I put 1/4 tsp only )
• 170g butter, softened
• 225g sugar
• 1 large egg, plus one large egg yolk
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 12 tbsp whole milk

Optional: Add a splash of BRANDY! Yum. This is the secret ingredient that really makes the cake come alive. I used Camus XO. ( skipped )

Method :~

1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius. Butter and line a 9-inch cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Using a mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugar until fluffy for about about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in egg, egg yolk and vanilla until well-combined.
5. On low speed, add flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with milk.
6. Switch mixer to medium and beat for 10 to 15 seconds, just until batter appears uniform.
7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top with spatula or knife.
8. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until it reaches a dark-gold color and an inserted cake tester comes out clean.
9. Let to rest in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a cake stand or platter. Sift with icing sugar if desired.

Having no patience to taste the freshly baked cake, I sliced it straightaway after 10 minutes resting! Oooo yumm!

Thanks to Ju from The Little Teochew for sharing the recipe. She has few more collection of butter cakes which I've bookmarked as well.

p/s...I'm still recovering from my flu.
