Butter Cake(with frosting) - Step by Step

Ingredients:

Butter - 250g
Sugar - 250g
Plain Flour - 250g
Eggs - 3
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

Baking Powder - 1 tsp


Add baking powder to the flour and sift to spread the baking powder evenly~

Grind the sugar into powder form.

Beat the butter and powdered sugar together.

Beat well to a smooth and even texture

Add in the eggs and beat until you get a smooth creamy texture.

Add flour and mix with a long spoon until the texture becomes creamy and thick. Don't let lumps form in the mixture.

(Remember: Do not beat the mixture after adding flour or your cake may become hard)

This is the cake batter. You can pour this on the baking tray. I mixed some green food colouring here and there to get a marble cake look on the inside.

Place an oil paper on the baking tray. Do not grease it.

Now pour the cake batter and spread evenly!

In goes the baking tray. Bake uncovered at 250 degrees for 30-40 minutes. You can check if the cake is done by sticking a knife or the other end of a silver spoon on top of the cake. if nothing sticks on, that means the cake is baked enough and ready to be removed from the oven.

Remove the tray from the oven once the cake is baked and let it cool.

This is my frosting:
I simply mixed equal amounts of icing(confectioner's) sugar and butter and added colours of my choice. Would taste good on almost any cake.( including cup cakes)

Spread the frosting on the sake evenly using a spatula or flat knife.

Your cake will look like this once its covered completely with a layer of frosting.

Make it even by gently sliding a spatula on the cake.

You can decorate your cake using nozzles to get different designs. This is the final product I got :) Hope you guys liked it!!
