Thanks to Wendy for sharing this wonderful butter cake recipe! very delicate texture, almost melts in the mouth! :D Going to pack these slices for my boy's school party tomorrow!!

Recipe adapted from Wendy's Blog (recipe source : Mrs NgSK)

Ingredient

• 230gm salted butter (I used 250gm)
• 200gm eggs, no shell (4 large eggs)
  
• 50gm + 150gm sugar
• 200gm self raising flour, sifted
• 60ml milk
• 1 tsp vanilla paste
  

Method

1. Preheat oven at 180 deg cel. (I only use 160 deg cel). Prepare a 8 inch square pan. Line the base and grease the sides (greasing helps the cake’s sides to rise well)
2. Separate the eggs, and place the whites into a medium sized bowl. Beat egg whites until soft peaks, gradually add 50gm sugar and beat until stiff. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and 150gm sugar until pale and fluffy. Put in vanilla paste and and beat for a while. Put in egg yolks one by one and beat well after each addition.
4. Put in half the flour and mix on low speed until incorporated. Put in milk in 2 additions and mix until well incorporated. Mix in balance of flour.
5. Put half the egg whites in and mix on low speed. Pour the balance of egg whites in and FOLD.
6. Pour batter into pan and level. Bake for 45 minutes or until skewer comes out clean. Remove from oven and invert to cool completely before unmoulding.
