Butter Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
The ingredients for this butter cake recipe are simple and easy to find. You will need: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of butter, 1 cup of white sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. You will also need a 9-inch round cake pan and cooking spray.
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and lightly flour the cake pan. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until everything is well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Serving and Storing the Cake:
Once the cake is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack or plate. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. The cake can be served plain, with a dusting of powdered sugar, or with a dollop of whipped cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat the cake in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
Additional Tips:
For a more decadent butter cake, add some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.

If you want to add a bit of zest to the cake, add a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon or orange zest to the batter before baking. This cake can also be made in a 9x13-inch pan or in a loaf pan, just adjust the baking time accordingly.
