BASIC BUTTERMILK CAKE



Basic Buttermilk Cake image

This came in a pamplet in the free Hallmark Magazine. You can use this basic recipe for a layer cake with icing, cupcakes or a sheet cake with icing or a glaze. I wanted to keep so am posting here. Prep time is a guess as I have not personally made this cake yet. Makes two 8-inch round or square layers, or two dozen cupcakes, or one 9 x 13 x 2 inch cake or 10 muffin-size cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 with rack in the middle of the oven. Butter cake pans and line the bottoms with wax paper or parchment paper cut to fit. Butter the paper. If making cupcakes, use paper liners or butter the cupcake pan.
  • Beat the butter and sugar at medium speed with electric mixer until light and fluffy in a large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time. Scrape bowl and beaters to incorporate.
  • Sift the flour with the baking powder and baking soda. Add one quarter of the dry mixture to the butter-egg mixture and then add the vanilla and a third of the buttermilk. Repeat beginning and ending with the flour mixture and scraping well after each addition.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pans and spread to the edges with a spatula. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pans of a rack for 5 minutes. Turn pans onto the rack, remove parchment paper or was paper and cool completely before frosting.

BASIC BUTTERMILK CAKE

This cake is one my Grandmother Winnie Aaron gave me. She said you CAN'T use the mixer. This one has to beaten with a WOODEN SPOON. She said it makes a difference in the crumb.. I don't know, I've just always made it like she showed me. This one is the one she baked for her coconut filling and boiled chocolate frosting. Grandma passed in 1984 at the age of 84 years. She gave birth to 16 children and was active up untill just a few months before she died. She was fiesty and could be mean sometimes.. LOL
