How to Bake Super Soft Moist Butter Cake Easy
Soft & Moist Butter Cake. Butter cake is the first cake I learned when I started baking. I should say it's the easiest cake to make but just need a lot of patience in the mixing of the batter. It is unlike moist chocolate cake or sponge cake which can't be over mixed. Butter cake takes double or triple the time especially in the process of mixing the butter and sugar. We need to make it as light, soft and fluffy as possible so that the cake will not sink, as far as the butter weight is concerned. Overall it is still easy to make, just take a little longer than normal cakes. I hope you will give this a try :)
Ingredients:
250g (1 cup) unsalted butter (you will see the g on the packaging)
200g (1 cup) castor sugar (you can add another 20-30g or 2-3 tbsp more if you like it sweeter)
5 eggs
230g (1 3/4 cups) cake flour or all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder (I apologize about the typo on the video, NOT baking soda)
50g (1/4 cup) milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Note* I don't normally use cups in all my cakes. I have the measurement in internet source. Should you think the cup measurement seems not right, please let me know. Thanks
I am using a 7x7 inch square baking pan. You can also use a round baking pan or loaf pan.
Instructions:
1. Preheat over at 320°F / 160°C.
2. Sift the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In the mixing bowl, add in the butter and sugar. Mix it on low speed for 2 minutes until the sugar disappear. Then increase to medium speed and mix for 15 minutes. One of the keys to this butter cake, these 2 ingredients must be mixed well. Continue mixing until the butter is white, light and fluffy. You will see that in about 15 minutes.
4. Add in the eggs, one by one. Mix until the yellow eggs disappear.
5. Add in the sifted dry ingredients spoon by spoon. This is another key to make good butter cake.
6. Add the milk and vanilla extract. Continue mixing for another 3-5 minutes.
7. Pour the batter into the baking pan. Bake at 320°F / 160°C for 55-60 minutes.
8. Test the cake using the cake test.
9. Cool the cake on the cooling rack for about 15 minutes. Once it is cooled, you may cut and serve the cake.
*Note: Feel free to use a hand mixer, if you don't not have a large mixer.
Frequently Asked Questions :
1. Why do I need to mix the butter for so long?
I learned this recipe from my aunt. It kind of like passed down in the family. But after making this cake for many times, I finally understand why. Butter is a very heavy content, and you know this is a butter cake. It's like the main character in this recipe. If you don't mix it long enough, it will become clumpy and that's why your cake will sink. If only you are baking a regular sponge cake which doesn't consume much butter, you don't actually have to mix so long. However, they normally rely on a lot of air leven ingredients, b soda & b powder. This cake on the other hand doesn't quite rely so much, only 1/2 tsp of b powder, that's it. So the mixing of the butter and sugar is the key, which will eventually make the cake rise and soft and light.
2. Why is my batter so thick when the one in video is thin?
It's fine and absolutely correct if yours is thick. The video is thin due to my room temp and time taken for shooting became liquidy that day.

Christmas Cake Recipe - Easy Fruit Cake that's beautifully moist!
An easy Christmas cake that turns out perfect every time. No creaming, beating or soaking of fruit required! Plus tips on storage and feeding your Christmas cake.
Feeding your fruit cake in the weeks leading up to Christmas helps to build and intensify the flavour of the cake, and will ensure it's beautifully moist.
Oven Temp:
Bake in the oven at 150C/300F (fan) for 45 minutes, then 140C/275F (fan) for a further 60-75 minutes - until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Alcohol-free Christmas Cake:
For a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the alcohol with cold tea, fresh orange or apple juice.
You can then feed the cake with either:
1. Cold tea
2. Fresh orange or apple juice
3. Ginger cordial mixed with water (2 tsp mixed with 2 tbsp water)
4. Rum flavouring mixed with water (⅛ tsp mixed with 2 tbsp water).
If you do this, don’t make the cake any earlier than November, as juice (as opposed to alcohol) could start tasting funny after more than a couple of months.
The full Christmas cake recipe is available on our site:
The easy fruit cake ingredients:
3/4 cup (175g) unsalted butter, chopped
1 packed cup (210g) light brown muscavado sugar
2 + 2/3 cups (400g) mixed dried fruit
1 cup (200g) glacé cherries roughly chopped
1 cup (100g) dried cranberries
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup (120ml) cherry brandy
1/2 cup (85g) ground almonds (coarsely ground - not the type that is like flour)
3 large eggs lightly whisked
1 + 2/3 cup (200g) plain/all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground mixed spice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
To feed the Christmas cake:
Cherry brandy (1-2 tbsp per week)

Prune Upside Down Cake with Toffee and Sesame by Bayou Saint Cake:
INGREDIENTS
For the sesame-prune layer:
½ cup light brown sugar
4 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons good-quality vinegar, such as apple cider or rosé vinegar
Zest of 1 orange
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cups California prunes, sliced longways in three
For the cake:
1 ½ sticks butter (softened)
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
2 eggs, room temp
Zest and juice of 1 orange
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon good-quality vinegar, such as apple cider or rosé vinegar
1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
For the sesame-prune layer:
Line a 9” round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with baking spray.
Place all the ingredients with the exception of the sesame and prune in a non-reactive pot. Warm over low heat, stirring the mixture gently with a heat-proof spatula, until the butter melts. Switch to a whisk, raise the heat to medium, and whisk the mixture until it becomes cohesive. Allow the caramel to simmer gently for about 1 minute.
Add the sesame seeds and stir to combine. Immediately pour into the bottom of the prepared pan, tilting the pan so that the caramel coats the pan evenly. The caramel will thicken rapidly as it cools, so you want to do this while it’s still warm.
Place your sliced prunes in a decorative pattern in the bottom of the pan, pressing them gently into the caramel layer. Allow to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
For the cake:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium non-reactive pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stirring the butter frequently, cook it gently until it begins to smell fragrant and nutty, and the butter begins to brown. Once the butter is brown, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool completely while assembling the rest of your ingredients.
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
Cream the cooled brown butter and the brown sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until it’s light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, and mix just to combine, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add the zest, orange juice, olive oil, and vinegar, and mix just to combine. Add the dry ingredients in two additions, mixing just to combine.
Scrape the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan, leveling it so it covers the caramel portion completely in an even layer.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through baking. When the cake is done, it should be an even deep golden brown, and the cake should spring back lightly when pressed in the center.
Allow the cake to cool for ten minutes (if you let it cool much longer, the caramel portion will stick to the bottom of the pan when unmolding). Using a knife, gently separate the edges of the cake from the pan.
Using potholders or a towel, flip your cake over onto your serving plate and remove the pan. If any of the prune slices stick to the bottom, you can simply press them back into place on the surface of the cake. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes further before slicing.
Serve plain, slightly warmed, as a treat at breakfast, or dress it up with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as a dessert.
