Butter cake recipe. Hello everyone, welcome to Cook & Bake Diary and thanks for dropping by. Today, I am posting my first ever blog post for Cook & Bake Diary and for the debut I choose to share with you the butter cake recipe. I love butter cake, I love its buttery, rich taste and the moist texture. Butter cake, as the name tells you one of the main ingredients that provides flavour is butter.
I attended a part time baking course few months ago and butter cake is one of the baked goods I learned. In this recipe, almond powder is added to give it a unique fragrance and texture. However, this is optional and you can leave without it if you don’t like almond. By the way, If you are about to make marble butter, you may use this recipe as well by just adding cocoa powder to it. I will tell you in the later part of this post.
Now, let’s look at the ingredients and methods.
