White Butter Cake Recipe From Scratch
Ingredients
Making a delicious white butter cake from scratch is easy and can be done with a few simple ingredients. You’ll need 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of white sugar, 4 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of milk.
Instructions
Before you start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan, and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until everything is fully combined, and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes.
Once the butter and sugar are creamed together, add in the eggs one at a time. Beat the eggs in until they are completely incorporated. Next, stir in the vanilla extract. Begin adding the flour mixture and milk alternately, a few tablespoons of each at a time. Beat until everything is fully combined.
Once the batter is made, pour it into your prepared baking pan. Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before frosting and serving.

Tips For Making Butter Cake
When creaming together the butter and sugar, make sure to beat for a full 5 minutes. This will ensure that the cake is light and fluffy. It's important to add the eggs one at a time, as this will help them incorporate better into the batter. Alternating between the flour and milk will help the batter stay light and fluffy. Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool completely before frosting and serving.
Decorating The Cake
Once your cake is cooled and frosted, you can decorate it however you'd like. This white butter cake is perfect for any occasion, so feel free to get creative. Add fresh fruit, edible flowers, or sprinkles to the top of the cake for a colorful and festive look. You can also pipe designs on the top of the cake for a more elegant look.
Storing The Cake
Once your cake is done baking, it's important to store it properly to keep it fresh. Butter cakes can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you'd like to store it for longer than a week, it's best to freeze it. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and then again in foil for optimal freshness. The cake should last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Serving The Cake
This white butter cake is perfect served as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. It can also be served with a side of fresh fruit or a glass of milk. Enjoy your homemade white butter cake any time of day!
