Butter Cake
Ingredients
For the Cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 cup Fresh milk/Milk
For the Glaze:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Making the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Making the Glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, water, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Glazing the Cake:
Using a skewer or fork, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake.
Slowly pour the glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
