Famous Butter Cake

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla essence.

4. Sift Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Pour into Cake Tin:

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.

7. Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve:

Once cooled, slice and enjoy this delightful butter cake. It pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the butter cake with a dusting of icing sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
It can also be enjoyed with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Cooking Tips:
Ensure the butter is softened at room temperature for easy creaming with the sugar.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
