Cake with soft butter

Table of Contents

Components:

  1. Two cups (400g) of granulated sugar and one cup (226g) of softened unsalted butter
  2. Four big eggs
  3. 315g (2 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
  4. One spoonful of baking powder
  5. Half a teaspoon of salt
  6. One cup (240 milliliters) of milk
  7. Two teaspoons of vanilla extract

Directions:

  • Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and dust them with flour.
  • In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat thoroughly after adding each egg one at a time. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a another basin.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture gradually, switching between them and the milk. Add the flour mixture first and stir until just mixed.
  • Smooth the tops of the pans after dividing the batter equally among them.
  • A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean after 25 to 30 minutes of baking.
  • After 10 minutes of cooling in the pans, move the cakes to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Advice:

  • For a distinct taste, you can add almond extract or lemon zest.
  • Before frosting, brush the cooled cakes with a simple syrup, which is made by boiling equal parts water and sugar until the sugar dissolves, to provide more moisture.
