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.

❤️ CORRECTION ALERT!❤️
Hi there. In this recipe, I have used cake flour but you can also use normal plain flour. Please refer to my written recipe in the description box. I have made a slight typo in the video. It's baking powder instead of baking soda. I apologise for the inconvenience. Hope you enjoy baking. Thank you for watching 😊
P/S: if you are going for a try, I just want to ensure your success. 1.Preferable room temp butter but not melting stage, just softened will do. 2.Make sure you preheat your oven while preparing for the cake.
3.Next, the key to the success is you need to mix butter and sugar long enough until light and pale.
4.I know I stated to mix at the end for 5 minutes, you may just do 1-2 min on a very low speed. This is to avoid dense cake. Just make sure there is no lumps in the batter.
5. Have the cake baked in the middle rack with top & bottom heat with no fan. Make sure you check your cake at the end of the baking time, use a skew or toothpick to test, and make sure the cake is not wiggly when you bring out the cake. If it is, you will know you need to bake another 3-5 min, depending on individual oven.
6. 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.
That's it. Good luck! Enjoy your baking!
Doesn't look moist when she cuts it
Thanks for your comment. This is one of the 2 methods I am sharing. Will post another method soon. You shall give me your comment later. Hope to see you soon :)

Gracious Treatz the name of the cake is from indonesia so i want you to make tape cake by yourself so the cake will be more soft and wowww i mean delicius . 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄.
After watching the video and reading the comments on how great it turned out for a lot of people, I baked it today with a lot of excitement. My husband said it is the best cake I've made so far and just like that it made my day❤ thanks for the recipe
Can you please tell me is the above measurements are for 1kg of cake or what ??
Recapped my memories of mum’s recipe but you truly fine tuned it with perfect ingredients measurements. Thank you 🙏🏼
This is the 3rd time I have also baked the cake! It is absolutely buttery, fluffy and delicious! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Over the past few months, I have watched dozens of videos of how to make vanilla cake and it's all been a failure until today I found yours! Your instructions great! It turned out excellent and my husband can't resist finishing it all in one day lol. Thank you so much!
You are most welcome. I am glad it turned out great. It's definitely most happy and fulfilling when your family members love it 😊
This recipe is excellent! This is the first time I've ever tried baking a cake and it came out better than I could have imagined. No more store bought cakes for me.
I made this tonight! I amended the recipe a little, reduced 30 gram of sugar & only used 4 eggs. And I actually turned it into butter marble cake, it turned out amazingly soft, moist & fluffy it literally melt in the mouth! Soooo good! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe & the tips to ensure success. 😍😁🙏
She literally changed the whole recipe🤣🤣🤣 LOL
Thanks will try this haha
This is one of the best recipes out there. Its moist and yummy! I followed exactly what you did ! Thank you thank you thank you!🥰🤩

1¾ Cups Cake/Plain Flour
½ tsp Baking Powder (Not Soda)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter + 2 tbsp
1 cup of sugar
5 Eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 tbsps milk (any is fine), 60g/60ml
Hope this helps :-) 💎
P.S IT IS BAKING POWDER! It is in her description!
Tips: Instead of regular milk, use buttermilk for better flavor. Just mix 4 tbsp regular milk and 2 tsp lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 3 minutes. Homemade buttermilk!
@@radhasingh3351 I believe she was trying to make it clear like in the description.
Thank U so much my dear💖 I want make now
Superb
I have tried.. Absolutely delicious cake :) thank u .
Can I use self raising flour instead of baking powder n plain flour?
I tried the recipe exactly how it was shown & the cake turned up like in the video...super soft and delicious. Everyone in my family like it. Thank for your recipe ❤️
Can you please tell me is the above measurements are for 1kg of cake or what ??
The only buttercake’s recipe that came out beautiful from my oven! Ur channel wil be my next favorite!
I tried it just now! It came out exactly the way you showed!! This was same texture and method my grandma used to follow..we never got it right till now!! Thank you so much for the recipe !!!
A winning recipe for butter cake. Baked this, and all my colleagues and family members gave their generous compliments ; they simply luv it! Includg myself. Lol. Thank you ma'am
Did you use the round pan?? If yes what was the size
Omg I made this today and the whole family loved loved it soo much. Melt in your mouth butter cake. I didn't have cake flour but made my own from one of your tutorials. Thank you so much. Baking like a pro now with your recipes. 😍😍😍
Just re try it again today and would like to express my gratitude for the lovely recipes 🤗 it’s a hit ! My mom loves it and it’s not too sweet for my liking …will definitely make more in future 😘
I've watched about 10 recipes and this is the one I'm trying since I have a standing mixer, not electric hand mixer. Plus it looks amazing! This is my daughter's new favorite cake, so I want to make it for her. Thank you😍
im genuinely sorry for saying this but are you dumb? a stand mixer works the same as a hand mixer except you don't have to hold it...
I tried to make this and it turned out so successful. My mum loves this butter cake to death. So soft, moist n delicious. Even as a non butter cake lover, I must admit that your recipe is to die for. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. This recipe is to be treasured.
I made this butter cake 2 days ago! It’s so good & buttery, just how I imagined it! Thanks so much. I added 2 tablespoons of oil just to make the cake extra moist sin e it doesn’t have much liquid other than the 1/4 cup of milk. I will be using this recipe from now onwards! 💕
can it be steamed ?
is it sweet?
@@nanaaagustin9976 absolutely.
Did u used A size eggs or what?
Please how make cups of flour did you use?
Tried half the amount to make the cake. Super yummylicious. Within four hours all sold out. Thank you for the lovely recipe!
You baked this butter cake to perfection 👍 It looks very light, soft and fluffy and not to forget yummy 😋
The Tortilla Channel. Thanks for the lovely comment and great support. I am always a fan
Nice tutorial 👍🏼
I have to questions :
1. How long should we preheat and what?
Hi I am here to give my review:
I tried the exact recipe, just reduced it to half. Believe me, it was the best butter cake ever. U PEOPLE SHOULD ALSO TRY!! 😍
THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE
Abdullah Raja reduce to half ?
If we dont have cake flour..whats the substitute?plz
@@sairasalikbutt3203 all purpose flour
I don't have a scale how much cup of flour?
Hi, how many eggs did you use then? 2 or 3?
I baked for the first time in my life using your recipe and it came out perfect.
Just made this cake today and it turned out really well & so delicious! I reduced the eggs to 4 large eggs and bake in 8 inch round springfoam pan. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Hands down the best recipe ever!!!!!!! Thank you
Love your quick & easy tutorial. Thank you!
I made it several times, changing the vanilla extract into rum essence and ube essence. They came out so good and moist. I use salted butter because I always forget to put salt in, the salt gives depth in the flavour. Today I'm going to make one using Pandan extract which I made from the scratch. This recipe is definitely a keeper, my family and myself love it. Thank you
Great recipe. I have baked multiple times and works every time. Thank you !
I have been skipping past this recipe for a while now. Today i decided to try it. I have to say it came out beautifully. My compliments to you for a great recipe. The texture was fantastic. Thank you.
Okay just finished making this and it was amazing!!!! I was honestly surprised at how good it was considering the simple recipe! :D
I added a little more milk but not a significant amount more that recommend, all the time spent mixing the ingredients is honestly worth it!!!! Good luck to everyone else who gives this a try c:
Since the day i have baked this..it has become one of my family favourite recipes...Even my frnds luvved it a lot... now baking it atleast twice a month...

I made it follow the instructions and I had the best moist cake I ever made !! 1000 thanks you !! 😋
I made this, and it turned out beautifully!!! Best butter cake recipe I ever tried❤ Thank you so much!!!
Made them today, turns out very good. I've made plenty of butter cakes before but this is the best I've made so far ❤ Added about 15g extra sugar and I think thats about right amount if you're a sweet tooth person like myself. Anymore than that might be too sweet. Best recipe and tips!!!
Thank you very much for such detailed tutorials. You are a great teacher.
This is the best recipe of cake I ve made so far. Thanks for this amazing recipe 😊👍👍

I made this today n it’s the most softer, spongier n the fluffier butter cake I ever had in my life...Thanks for the recipe.. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi did you use just half a tsp of baking powder? The waybit is mentioned in the description box ... i want to try it but i wonder if only half a tsp of baking bowder is going to be enough for this recipe 🤔
Normally all the cake recipes I try never work out but this one is amazing and I made it 2 times already
I tried this recipe today and i have to say, I have never made a softer cake! Thanks so much for this recipe.
Very yummy
Your recipes never disappointed me. I always made it excellent way and never went wrong. Butter cake and eggless cake both made them in your way. Thank you. 😊
Omg God!! I just tried your cake and my whole family happy with the soft butter cake! Perfect measurements! Awesome! Thank you so muchhhh! God bless you!
Thank you for sharing this recipe.lt sounds and looks delicious.l do look forward to trying it out lnshAllah.Wishing you well.Kind Regards
I love when you go into the details very deep, like how long to mix with what speed at when to switch to what speed those things are good and very useful which i hardly see from other channels. Keep making videos this way. BTW, I haven't made the butter cake this recipe yet, but i think i'm gonna make it this noon. Thanks
Hi Jessada, I am glad you find that helpful. I would also advise you to read up the description box or the pinned message for further details. This butter cake is not difficult and pretty straight forward but there are certain importance that you need to know before you start. Happy baking! 😊
I tried the recipe last night. and it was perfect! oh my gosh. so moist with the perfect level of sweetness. THANK YOU

It's my 1st baking a cake. Omg. The cake is so soft & fluffy. Thank you for sharing this easy to follow recipe.

Was the egg noticeable?
This is so lovely I didn't believe in all this TH-cam stuff until I try this one hour ago it comes out smooth sweet and clean I love it
I made this recipe twice. First was a fail because I didnt cream the butter and sugar for 15 mins. Second try was perfect. Creamed the butter for 15 mins and turned out super soft, fluffy and moist. I also used 1 cup sugar and it’s enough for people who dont like their cake to be too sweet. Thank you for this recipe 😍
Make this today and it was so soft!!!! I only use 150g butter since I didn't have enough butter...So delicious! thank you for sharing this recipe
I tried this yesterday and it came out perfect !! Couldn't find vanilla extract and it was still perfect . Thank you .

Can i use hand mixer please?
Wow, nice and neat. Really what I’m looking for. You have all the instructions, and the grams, just love it
Made this cake today. Turned out very nice. Thanks !
Tried this today and turned out great. The cake was super fluffy and perfectly baked. I baked for about 55 minutes and also used salted butter still tasted great. The only thing I wish it was more sweeter.
Salted butter makes it taste as if the the sugar content is low. Same thing happened to me. Try with unsalted butter it tastes perfect
So so good, perfect, delicious, I want some more, who ate my cake... 😂😂😂. All these comments from those who tasted the cake and request I make more. It's the 3rd time I'm making this recipe and seems to be my favorite. Thanks alot mam, you're too kind. I love baking baking though with only the help of good tutorials and recipes like yours. GOD bless you
All the way from Nigeria 🇳🇬
