World-Famous Melt-in-Your-Mouth Butter Cake 🧈

Buttery, soft, and golden — this classic cake has a delicate crumb that truly melts in your mouth. Ready in just 10 minutes of prep!

🛒 Ingredients

• 250g all-purpose flour

• 200g caster sugar

• 200g unsalted butter, softened

• 3 eggs (approx. 80g each)

• 1½ tsp vanilla essence

• 1¼ tsp baking powder (about 7g)

• ½ cup lite milk (100g)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and line a standard loaf or round cake tin.

2. Cream Butter & Sugar:
   In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes with a hand or stand mixer).

3. Add Eggs & Vanilla:
   Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla essence.

4. Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.

5. Combine Wet & Dry:
   Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in two batches, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined — don’t overmix.

6. Bake:
   Pour the batter into your prepared cake tin and smooth the top.
   Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve:
   Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or serve as is!
