How To Make A Butter Cake

When we think of the word butter, it’s often associated with the need to be used in small amounts. The perfect combination of butter, salt, sugar, and flour among a few other ingredients makes some of the most delicious cake that you will probably ever taste. However, butter is the winning ingredient in this flavorful combination, which is butter cake. Unlike many other cakes, which utilize some variety of combination of ingredients and pound cake which uses an equal amount of each ingredient, butter cake is simple, yet delicious but is also very rich, so it’s best to come hungry if you choose to try your hand at this concoction.

The rich taste of butter, paired with the sugary sweet creaminess is what gives this cake such a coveted reputation. Like all recipes, quality makes a big difference so be sure to use natural, pure ingredients rather than those that are artificial to impart the best taste and texture. If you are prompted to add various flavorings such as vanilla, almond, or lemon extract or other flavors, you may make this tasty recipe your own to add a little pizzazz. However, be careful, as a little goes a very long way and be sure to cook it just so it’s creamy center remains.
