This simple but tasty butter cake is one of my favourites. I used to make this since I was a little girl and I hope you will enjoy this too. This is perfect for an evening tea on a cosy evening.

Notes

I would always take the butter out of the refrigerator and leave it for around 30 – 45 minutes to melt as it helps to mix the batter smoothly.

I use unrefined sugar for all my desserts because it is healthy and health comes first!

To make the cake even softer reduce the amount of flour to 150 – 170g.

Ingredients

Plain Flour	200g
Butter	200g
Sugar	200g
Eggs large	3
Baking powder	1 teaspoon
Vanilla	1 teaspoon

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C Fan / 350F or Gas mark 4.

Using an electric beater beat the sugar and butter until the batter becomes fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time and beat well.

Now add the flour, baking powder and vanilla and continue beating until the batter is fluffy and soft.

Place the batter in a cake tray and bake in the oven for 30 -35 minutes or until a toothpick instred into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
