How to Make Vanilla Butter Cake
1. Cream the Butter and Sugar
Add 150 g salted butter and 150 g sugar to a mixing bowl. Whisk until the mixture becomes creamy, which should take about 2–3 minutes. Mix once in between to ensure everything is evenly combined.
2. Add the Eggs
Add the 3 medium-sized eggs and whisk again for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift 175 g plain flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 25 g milk powder into the batter.
Sift the dry ingredients again directly into the batter, then mix slightly until combined.
4. Add Vanilla
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk for about 15–20 seconds.
Give the batter a final mix. Once everything is well combined, the batter is ready!
Baking
Transfer the batter into a 25 × 11 × 6 cm (3 Lb) baking pan.
Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 30–35 minutes, or until nicely baked.
Once baked, you’ll have a cake with a perfect texture—soft, moist, and delicious!
