Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Reduced-fat unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the reduced-fat unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the low-fat milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your low-fat classic butter cake!
