Buttercake

This is a buttercake made for the birthday party. Frosted with buttercream frosting and sweet pea flowers.

Ingredients

250 gm butter, room temperature

250 gm flour

200 gm sugar

1 tsp vanilla

4 eggs

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

3 tbsp milk

Method

In a bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, blend butter and sugar till light and fluffy.

Add one egg at a time beating well after each addition.  Slowly add the milk, vanilla, baking powder and flour. Beat till all is combined well. 

Pour into a well greased and lined 8 in cake pan.  I used a 8 by 3 in cake pan for this.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Test with a wooden skewer for doneness.  Take out and let cool for 10 minutes and then turn out to a wire rack.  Frost as desired.
