I have been missing action for few days, as my sister-in-law and her kids were visit us last week and also we went back to my hometown over the weekend. After few days of not updating my blog, I just feel lazy to get start to update a new post, hehehe..Anyway, I'm back in action now, but i can only post you this butter cake that i baked last 2 weeks ago as I did not cook or bake any new recipes over these few days.
Recently, I have seen so many bloggers baked this old fashioned butter cake and this is also one of my favourite butter cake. This time, I tried with the separation of egg yolk and egg white method.
Old fashioned butter cake
*makes a 8” square cake pan
250g butter
100g sugar
5 egg yolks (large)
230g cake flour
1tsp double action baking powder
4tbsp milk
1/2tsp vanilla essence
5 egg whites (large)
90g sugar
Method
1. Place the butter, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and creamy.
2. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and baking powder and beat well to combine. Fold through the milk and combine well.
3. Beat egg whites in a clean large bowl until soft foam. Gradually add in sugar, and beat till soft peak.
4. Take one portion of the egg white mixture, and use a hand whisk to stir well with egg yolk mixture till combine and thick paste.
5. Slowly fold in the balance egg white with a spatula till well combine.
6. Spoon the batter in a cake pan which line the base with paper and lightly grease.
7. Bake at preheated oven at 180c for 55mins or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
Happy Baking !!

Lovely golden bake, and you paired it with an old-fashioned tableware - excellent! :)
This looks so moist and tender. I like the size too - just enough for the two of us.
I tried this recipe. The cake tasted nice but was dry and dense. Any idea why?
hi,i have try this recipe.is nice,but i did not use double action baking powder.(use normal bakingpowder).thank you for sharing.
hi your cake looks very very nice, may i ask what is double action baking powder?? can i use normal baking powder instead? thanks very much
lalayuen, double action baking powder means the baking powder reacts twice; contain one acid that dissolves when it comes in contact with water and another acid that does not dissolve until it reaches a higher temperature in a hot oven. This type of double action ensures that the finished product is light and fluffy. Yes, you can replace with normal baking powder and maybe for 1 and 1/2 tsp .
Dear Nasi Lemak Lover,
I tired this recipe. The butter cake really yummy... nice,soft and moist! delicious.

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if there is a particular kind of sugar you use for your recipes? Or is it just normal sugar?
Ainsley, I just use normal caster sugar
Great information
Hi, i tried the recipe and it came out perfect! Thanks for sharing... :)
Hi, I would like to check with you if I can use top flour to replace cake flour?
Can I also use brown sugar instead of caster sugar?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, I just tried making the cake today and it turned out great..really light and fluffy..my son says its soooo good..thanks for a wonderful recipe, it's definitely a keeper..cheers!
HI Sonia
Did you use unsalted or normal salted butter please?
Tq
Susan
Susan, I use salted butter
Hey Sonia tq for replying so quickly..!! Butter cake is irresistible.. and now I can use salted butter! Yay.. Luv your recipes..
Susan
Hi Sonia
Did you use condensed milk or evaporated milk or fresh milk?
Thks
Anonymous, I use full cream milk
Hi Sonia
I tried baking your Old Fashion Butter Cake on Sat, 7 Sep 13, it turned out very well. I like your recipe bec the butter cake is light and not so sweet. It is an excellent recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Felicia
Hi, your recipe requires 8 inch square cake pan and i only have 8 inch(20cm)round cake pan. How do i tweak the recipe? I really want to bake this cake but most of the recipes online uses square pans. Please help!! :(
Hi Sonia, may I know u use which brand of butter to make it? I always can't bake well butter cake for my sister, her favourite cake.
Susanne, I use Anchor brand
Hi Sonia, I know this post was 5 years ago, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing. The texture was wonderfully fine and light, and it wasn't too sweet either. Though, still a little sweet for darling hubby's taste, so I shall attempt to cut just a tad next time. Thank you again!
Hi Sonia, can i use unsalted butter?
Hi, so I estimated one tablespoon being 20mls, so I put 80mls in and the batter was still dry. So I doubled the milk. My son says it is a little dry (even though I baked it at 170 for 50 mins, with a cake liner) and one person says it was "eggy".
So my question is, how many mls should I put in and after you add the egg yolk, do you mix it vigourisly or just mix it in till mixed in the batter. (In other words, can you over mix at that point?). Mine didn't seem as crumbly.
Thanks in advance.
An
Shu Hui Pang, yes you can use unsalted butter but add a bit 1/4tsp salt.
An, For the egg yolk batter, make sure you beat well the butter and sugar till light and pale in colour, then when add in egg yolk and milk, just make sure to combine it well but do not over mix at this stage.
I just tried making the cake today and it turned out great..
Hi Sonia,
Your butter cake looks extremely lovely and delicious! However, I am allergic to eggs. What would you suggest me to use as substitute for eggs? Or, do you have a recipe for eggless butter cake? That will be really helpful too! Thanks in advance! :)
Hi Sonia. I have lactose allergy. Can I replace the full cream milk with Soy milk?
Anonymous, I think should be ok with soy milk . If you try let me know how it taste ^_^
