BUTTER CAKE (Aka- Vanilla Cake)
This is my Golden Vanilla Cake 2.0. I renamed it Buttery Vanilla Yellow because that’s exactly what I wanted it to taste and feel.
My inspiration was really a boxed yellow cake. This was the cake I grew up eating mostly and associated with yellow cake.
I wanted to replicate this feathery texture, but give the cake the taste of homemade vanilla.
The key to fulfilling such a demanding demand was to focus on the mixing method. I went a combination of two ways.
The taste took some tweaking as I didn’t want an overly sweet cake but instead a yellow cake with more depth in flavour.
The resulting cake is feathery when sliced, has a smooth “squishy” texture (in my daughter’s words), and a buttery, vanilla flavor enhanced by a little acidity from the curd.
This plain but delicious cake is one of the simplest cakes to prepare. It is preferred by many who want their cakes the old -fashioned way.
Butter cakes are easier to manage and could be enriched with milk, lemon and raisins
