Warm Butter Cake Recipe
The Warm Butter Cake Recipe is soft, rich and perfect for dessert lovers. It has a golden crust and a tender, buttery inside.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- Powdered sugar for garnish optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cake pan with butter or cooking spray. Dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar. Use a whisk or mixer to beat until light and fluffy. This will help make a soft cake texture.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract for extra flavor. Ensure everything is combined smoothly.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to mix evenly. This ensures the cake rises uniformly and stays tender.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture gradually. Alternate with milk for a smooth batter. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour Batter into Pan
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake the Cake
- Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Check near the end to avoid overbaking.
Cool and Serve
- Remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack if desired. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light.
- Grease the pan well to prevent sticking.
- Bake in the center of the oven for even cooking.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze for extra sweetness.
