03.05.2013 - Batam. I always love the traditional Butter Cake. I used to make a traditional butter cake with 9 eggs, a recipe from our cousin who loves baking until today. I have not been busy searching for a great butter cake recipe since i know i have the best in hand.
One day, i was out of 9 eggs and was thinking to bake myself a butter cake! Nah!! problem comes!! how to make a butter cake without 9eggs in my mind. so i search high and low for a less egg butter cake. and finally after reading and watching so many types of butter cake recipes from so many good bakers, which they use less eggs. So i give it a try without using so many eggs. Here i come to modify one! my 4 eggs recipe taste just as good as 9 eggs. Save us a lot of eggs!!
Tell you, is not easy to modify the recipe, i have to test my comment sense and baking skill...hehe...Anyway, the cake came out perfectly good. Im using the same old steps for this recipe. Anyone can bake this. It is easy.

Wood Dunn Dairy Maid Pure Creamery Butter ( if you use this butter, i guarantee your butter cake can smell a mile away!! this is highly recommended ) , Golden Churn Pure Creamery Butter, Elle & Vire Unsalted Butter, PRESIDENT Butter, LURPAK Butter, Anchor unsalted Butter.
