Haha, I know the decorations are a bit out of season, but we had these beautiful jelly bean lollipops hanging around since the yuletide, and well, it's almost easter, so they had to be used up quickly. For the butter cake, I used all the supposed premium ingredients; ie, golden churn butter, and pillsbury flour.
Verdict: Well, I am not sure exactly what constitutes a perfect butter cake texture. With those ingredients, you cant really go wrong as far as taste is concerned. It was very fragrant, and rich, and to me, the texture was okay, but my official cake taster said her texture was different. Does anyone have a sure proof butter cake recipe, and what temperature should the butter be for these kinda cakes?

If you don't mind me asking, can I ask for your butter cake recipe? I remember you had a post on making butter cake before. I am also searching for THE butter cake recipe. I know you bake for a living, so if cannot, it's ok. Thanks.
Happy Birthday Mei Mei! Such a sweet daddy to make a cake for his little darling. Am searching for the right texture butter cake too, S has been pursuing the same as she promised someone to make cupcakes for their 1st mth baby thingy.
from mei mei: thank you all for your birthday wishes. my dad threw a 1st birthday party for all my siblings, but only a family dinner for me, the the least he can do is jolly well bake me a cake. i shall overlook the outdated yuletide decorations, as the cake was delicious.
from FBB to Kat: haha, KAT, i do not bake for a LIVING!!! its a hobby.
from memory, here's the recipe:
1 tin golden churn - 340gm
1 cup sugar - this is the bare minimum oridi la, actually i think its meant to be 2 cups.
8 eggs - prob can cut down to 6
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder, sifted with the flour
i think that's it. cream butter and sugars, add eggs one by one by one, then stir/fold in flour.
anyone care to share theirs? babe, thanks, i also have the agnes chang book. i try not to use vanilla essence for cakes that i eat myself...(must be either extract, or pod..ahem).
Really? I thought it's your main business as you seem to be taking specialty classes, buying baking paraphernalia, busy with so many orders, etc.
Many thanks for your recipe. Will try it as soon as I can as I have a tin of golden churn lying around.
Just read through your recipe again. Cake pan size - 22cm? We bake at 180 C ? For how long?
Wow thats a lotta eggs! The recipe I have is quite similar to Babe's but has even less sugar. Got the recipe from newspaper by a lady who makes butter cakes for a living. Er, I got to go look for it, will email you.
