Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting
  • Fresh berries and whipped cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides lightly with butter.
  • Whipping Butter and Sugar: Begin by placing the softened butter and granulated sugar into a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to whip the ingredients together until they become light and airy.
  • Incorporating Eggs: Introduce the eggs one at a time into the mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure they are thoroughly mixed in before proceeding to the next.
  • Mixing Dry Ingredients: In a different bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt by whisking them together to blend evenly.
  • Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Preparing to Bake: Transfer the cake mixture into your greased baking pan, leveling the surface with a spatula.
  • Bake: in the oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean without any wet batter.
  • Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, make sure that all your ingredients, particularly the butter and eggs, are at room temperature to facilitate a smoother mixing process.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Stir the batter until just mixed. Overbeating can make the cake dense, so stop as soon as you see that the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Check for Doneness: Start checking the cake for doneness after 55 minutes to prevent overbaking.
  • Cool Completely: Let the cake cool completely before slicing to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.
  • Serve with Garnishes: Enhance your butter cake by serving it with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream for added flair.
