my first cake, butter cake.

After several times of trial with bread-baking, finally, i baked the first cake of my life.
Think 'bout butter cake as the sounds easiest one, thus it's done, with lots of satisfication.

With the general research over the delicious-recipes available, i'd concluded the needed ingredients and composed my purchase list. Here's the items:

125g of unsalted butter
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1/2 tablespoon of baking power
2 eggs
2 cups of rising flour

Started with beating the butter, with the first egg, then the 2nd egg joined in moments later. Followed by add in the sugar, salt, flour and baking power one by one. By this time, the mixture is a little bit dry. However, with the milk and vanilla essence poured along, i'm very excited bout the fragant and smooth combination.

Next step is to preheat the oven. Then prepared the pan, with flour and greasing work, and put the mixture in. When the oven is ready, locate the pan in the oven for almost an hour long period, until the cake turns brown.

Here's the snapshort:

But at the middle region just feel like not dry enough to be my nice master piece. Thus, will try to reduce some portion of same-type-butter. As known from some experts saying unsalted butter contains water during the manufacturing process, and varying from different manufacturers too.

At least, it's a good start for me.
