butter cake - best recipe ever

For the egg yolk batter, you will need:

  • 180 gram (~ 1 1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 stick (16 tablespoon/230 gram) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature (not melted!)
  • 170 gram sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks, from large-size eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk

And for the egg white batter (meringue), you will need:

  • 4 egg whites, from large-size eggs
  • 50 gram sugar

Some notes: 
Make sure you get good butter. Different brands will make your cake taste different. Explore and enjoy. 


Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add egg yolk one at a time while thoroughly mixing it each time 
Add vanilla extract

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and slowly add to the batter alternating with milk until finished. 

In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks.

Fold in egg white mixture into the batter slowly. 

Bake at 180degrees until a toothpick comes out clean. Approx 30mins
