An easy-to-make butter-based moist cake. I made this for my husband's birthday alongside other dishes, hence the easy steps. Can be served with tea or ice-cream. You can add more cocoa powder for a more chocolatey experience 🤤

Steps

1 hour

1

Pre-heat your oven to the highest setting. You will reduce it to the lowest before baking
2

Lightly grease your baking pan with butter
3

Whisk your butter and sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes. Your butter should be soft before whipping
4

Add in your eggs one at a time and whisk for 1 minute per addition
5

Drizzle on your vanilla flavour and whisk for another 1 minute to combine
6

Sift half of your flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt into the butter batter
7

Combine with a spatula. Mix till all ingredients are incorporated. Don't over-mix
8

Add in 1 tbsp of milk
9

Repeat step 4-7
10

Transfer your cake batter into your baking pan. I used bread pans (that's what I had available). Use your spatula to smoothen out the top
11

Turn down your oven heat to the lowest and bake for 25 minutes
12

Insert a dry cutlery/toothpick to check if it is cooked. The cutlery should come out clean
13

Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before taking it out
14

Enjoy 🤤
