Who doesn’t love a freshly baked cake? I’m always on the lookout for something quick and easy, AND fool-proof. This simple butter cake is a hit, easy-peasy and versatile.
I made this the other day and iced it with a vanilla icing – one with a hint of fresh orange and pineapple juice and the other with honey. Totally delicious.
Simple butter cake
Ingredients
- 125g butter
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch salt
- 2/3 cups milk
- 1 ½ cup self-raising flour
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fanforced).
Grease a 20cm round cake tin or a loaf tin if you prefer.
Beat all ingredients on medium for 4 minutes. Pour into the tin and bake for 40 minutes or until firm to touch on top.
Allow to cool before turning out on to cooling rack and then ice.
Icing
- 1 ½ cups icing mixture
- 25g butter
- 1 tablespoon milk (or juice)
- A few drops of honey to taste if you want a honey icing
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add a touch more milk (or alternative liquid) for glossier consistency.
Yep, it’s that easy!!!
