Basic Butter Cake
Serves 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
• 14 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons McCormick's Pure Vanilla Extract
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
ICING
• 155g confectioner's sugar
• finely grated zest of 1 orange
• 1½ tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon orange juice or milk, as needed
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a deep 8-inch round cake tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment or greaseproof paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until light and creamy. Add the beaten eggs gradually, beating well after each addition. Sift the flours together. Fold the flour and the milk alternately into the butter mixture.
3.Spoon the cake mixture into the cake tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and leave in the tin for 10 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
4.To make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Add the orange zest and butter and mix gently. Gradually add enough orange juice or milk so that the mixture becomes a thick but spreadable consistency. When the cake has cooled, spread the icing over the top.
