Butter Cake Directions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract.

Mix Together
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined and smooth.

Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan or round cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve with berry compote.
