Different cakes using Butter cake batter

For some people baking and decorating is a hobby, a career or something they love to do. For me it is a hobby and I love to decorate cakes. I haven’t attendant to a class to learn baking cakes or decorating cakes. I have learnt by myself referring to the videos and the recipes I found on the internet. For this short time I have tried few cake recipes and had decorate few birthday cakes for my family members. I will share my recipes with you all. These are few different cakes that we can make easily making little changes to the butter cake batter.

Butter Cake (for 1kg)

250g Butter

250g Powdered sugar

4 large eggs (if not 5)

250g flour

1tsp baking powder

1tsp vanilla

3tsp fresh milk

Beat the butter about 3min. Then add sugar and beat until sugar dissolves. I use powdered sugar to make this process easy. Add eggs one at a time and beat. Or we can separate egg white and yolk and beat them separately and mix with butter and sugar. In this way we can make cake softer. After mixing eggs add vanilla and milk(optional) into the mixture. Then add flour mixed with baking powder into the mixture. Bake it at 175 0C , 45min. Time can be varied according to the oven.

Butter Icing

To cover a 1kg cake with butter icing it will need about 300g butter and 500g icing sugar. But this depends on the design we use.

Chocolate cake

Shift 3Tbsp cocoa powder together with flour and make the batter using it. Be sure to add milk into this batter.

Zebra Cake

Make the butter cake mixture and divide it into 2 parts. For this cake we need it to be little bit less thickness than the butter cake batter. So I add more milk in when preparing the batter. Add 2Tbsp cocoa powder to one part of batter. Now pour the batter into the baking pan little by little alternatively. It will make the design of the cake.

Cupcake (for 12 cup cakes)

Use half of the ingredients from the butter cake recipe. Add 1/4tsp of baking soda to batter also. Add any nuts or fruits if you prefer.

Coffee cake

Add 4tsp instant coffee or your regular coffee into 50ml warm milk. Let it cool and Add it to the butter cake batter directly if you use instant coffee. If not strain it remove powder of coffee getting into cake.
