Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 80 grams Cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 milliliters Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is pale, light, and fluffy. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Enjoy your Cornflour Butter Cake!
