BUTTER CAKE RECIPE
This is our ALL TIME FAVORITE “GO TO” vanilla cake recipe! It is so light and has a delicious buttery flavor! So yummy! In this video we made a DOUBLE BATCH of this recipe to fill three 8″ cake pans. Following is the recipe for a SINGLE batch which can be easily doubled or tripled (or more if you have a large mixer like the one we used in our video). A single batch is the perfect amount for three 6″ cake pans, and a triple batch is the perfect amount for three 10″ cake pans. If I had to eat only one type of cake for the rest of my life, it would be butter cake. How good could a cake be made with nothing more than butter, sugar, flour, eggs, milk and vanilla extract? DAMN GOOD! A butter cake reminds you that a perfectly good cake doesn’t need anything fancy. It just needs the right mix of ingredients, and the right method for putting them together.
