Butter Cake

My 1st attempt in baking butter cake...


Recipe asked to use a 22cm tin but i do not have one due to the size of my oven...


So the batter was able to make 2 different cake sizes as shown below...


~Rectangular tin~






~Round tin~


Recipe from: food-4tots

Ingredients:
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
200g plain flour/ all purpose flour
2 tsp double action baking powder
180-200g castor sugar
4 eggs
½ tsp salt
4 tbsp fresh milk
1 tsp vanilla essence


Methods:
1.Preheat oven to 180°C. (Best to preheat for 15 mins)
2.Lightly grease a 22cm square baking tin with melted butter or oil and line it with grease-proof paper.
3.Mix plain flour and baking powder together and sieve. Add in salt and mix well. Set aside.
4.Use low speed to mix butter and sugar until well combined. Change to medium speed and beat until light and pale in yellow. (Note: Sugar has not dissolved yet).
5.Add in the first egg. Beat well after each addition of egg until creamy.
6.Scrape down the sides for even mixing.
7.Add in vanilla essence and mix well.
8.Divide flour into three portions, use lowest speed to mix in flour. Scrape down sides for even mixing.
9.Finally, add milk bit by bit.
10.Pour the mixture into the greased baking tin. Shake it lightly to distribute cake mixture evenly.
11.Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. If a toothpick/skewer comes out clean, it is done.
12.Remove it from the oven and leave the cake in the tin to cool on the wire rack for another 5 minutes.
13.Best to serve warm.
