Promised someone I'd share a recipe of a simple but sinfully gorgeous butter cake with her.
As you know, my inlaws absolutely lovesss my butter cake. It might be the only triumph card I have to say "I'm the best dil you'd ever have!" (of coz, apart from the 3 lovely and cute grandkids I popped out for them). But to hear comments like "It's very easy to make butter cake only, just put in more butter in a generous amount" made me go think "okkay... you go do it yourself then"...
It's very simple, I agree, but helloh?? the time I give, to whip out the cake for you, it's THE main ingredient of LOVE that not everyone else could get from me, ok? And to hear a friend who had sms-ed to say the cake was gorgeous and could feel the love in each bite? It sent me to the moon (and left me stranded there)! Happiness comes from the joy of giving and making someone else happy, AND hearing appreciation for that effort, no doubt. (Though I would want to be happy without the last part, but I'm being honest here, I DO feel great to be appreciated back)
If you liked a simple easy butter cake, here's the recipe... I took it from the internet, I believe it's from 5xmom, it's eons years ago, and hence, I couldn't find the link and link it back to her. Thanks to her, I always have this cake for myself and my family when I feel down, or as a gift when I couldn't think about anything to give to friends who already have everything else.
250gm butter (SCS butter is what I always use)
200gm caster sugar
250gm flour (I use Blue key)
4 eggs (either A or B sized)
fresh milk (about 10 tablespoons) or orange juice.
Method:
Sift flour into mixing bowl, mix with sugar, then blend in the butter. Make hole in the middle and slowly blend in the eggs, one by one each. Beat it up nicely for about 5 mins and blend in the milk/ orange juice till the texture is nice. Pour into round or square tin and bake for 2 hours in 185'C. That's what my 3-in-1 microwave, grill and convection oven's setting which bakes the right cake for me.
Enjoy your butter cake!

Ya, SCS butter is very buttery punya. Lucky for me, my spouse can't eat buttery stuffs so usually when my sister make butter cake, I get to eat most of it, muah hahahaha. *excuse me, now I must go and pinch my spare tyres to make them go away*
