Tried this recipe. Simple, easy, and tasty! I used loaf pan () and it turned out great! Just the
outer surface is a little bit crispy. Maybe the temperature should be reduced a little. And I
didn't use mixer, just by hands.. Simply delicious plain butter cake. Perfect for an afternoon
tea!

Made this yesterday. Turned out nice but I guess it's meant to be a base cake for decoration
as it's not sweet. If I were to make it again wld probably add more sugar to maybe 1 1/2
cups, unless I plan to have iy covered with icing or jam or something else that'll compensate
for sweetness. Overall it's a good recipe, soft and moist.

Moist, light and fluffy. I added the rind of a lemon to the batter and made a lemon icing
glaze. Delicious

I really do not know why this has been rated so high. It leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. I'm
not sure why this is so.. my guess - too much self-raising and/or too much vanilla essence. I
found a much better recipe (which I tried at the same time to accurately select the best)
which used more eggs (more moist), less flour ratio to caster sugar and only 1 tsp of vanilla
essence.

This recipe has a real baking powder taste, if like me you want a buttery moist cake use the
Taste recipe
called Princess Rainbow Cake. You can adapt it to a plain butter cake by making it as one
large cake and omit the food colouring.

Super easy to make. Usually make recipe x1.5 for a three tier cake and finish off with jam
and fresh cream. Kids love it light texture and fresh taste.

Made this for my dad who has fond childhood memories of home made butter cake. He
loved it and has requested for all birthday occasions in the family. Super easy. The trick is to
make sure the butter and sugar are super fluffy (sugar almost melted) and white in colour
before adding the eggs.

A good base recipe for a foolproof birthday cake. Which, lets face it, is all about the icing
anyway ;-)

Baked this cake and it was absolutely moist and tasty. Only complaint from people was that
it was crumbly. Is there anything to rectify this please?

This is a very tasty butter cake recipe. However, I found that after the hour of baking was
done, my cake was gooey in the middle. I popped it back in the oven with aluminum foil
over the top for another 40minutes and it came out cooked beautifully. Will be baking again
with the modification.
