Foundation Butter Cake

125g butter or margarine, softened

4 drops vanilla extract

3/4 cup caster sugar

2 eggs

2 cups self raising flour

1 cup milk

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin or similar.

2.Using the small Mixmaster bowl, break up butter on Medium speed (5-6), add vanilla, sugar and cream on High speed (7-8) until light and creamy. Approximately 2 minutes.

3.Add eggs one at a time beating well between each addition.

4.Reduce to Low speed (2-3) and fold in sifted flour and milk alternately. Be careful not to use high speeds as flour will go everywhere! Mix for 3-4 minutes until cake batter is rich, smooth, thick and creamy.

5.Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.

Note: When creaming butter or cream cheese use Low speeds (1-3) initially and make sure butter/cream cheese is chopped into cubes and added in small amounts until smooth and creamy. Butter and cream cheese should be at room temperature before beating. Once the desired quantity of butter/cream cheese has been added, slowly increase to High speed (7-9).
