Easy Buttercream Cake
Ingredients:
- 100 g Butter (softened at room temperature)
- 1 can (380 g) Condensed Milk
- 4 Large Eggs
- 250 g All-Purpose Flour
- 10 teaspoons Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 50 g Raisins (optional)
- Chocolate or Powdered Sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Cream the Butter and Condensed Milk: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and condensed milk using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This will take a few minutes.
Beat in the Eggs: One at a time, beat in the eggs until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cupcakes.
Add Raisins (optional): If you’re using raisins, fold them gently into the batter using a spatula.
Fill the Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cupcake liners. Fill them about ¾ full.
Bake: Bake the cupcakes for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Decorate (optional): Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before decorating. You can drizzle them with melted chocolate, dust them with powdered sugar, or add your favorite frosting.
