Butter Cakes

Butter Cakes are my mum favourite. Did these twice over the weekends.

Recipe Source: Do What Like

Ingredients:

150g Butter
1 tbsp Corn Oil
110g  Castor Sugar
1/3 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla paste or 1 tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs

140g cake flour
40g corn starch
1/3 tsp baking powder

3 - 5 tbsp milk

Method:

1. Mix cake flour, corn starch and baking powder together. Sieve twice into a large mixing bowl.
2. Cream butter, oil, sugar, vanilla and salt till pale and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs one at time, beat well after each addition.
4. Add in the flour mixture and mix at low speed till well blended.
5. Stir in the whipping cream.
6. Pour batter into a lined loaf pan and bake at 180C for 35 - 45 minutes or till cooked. 

Notes:
After 10 - 12 minutes in the oven, remove it and make a length-wise cut on the surface of the batter with a knife so that the cake will "explode" nicely with a neat line in the middle.
