Instructions

Baking the butter cake

  • Pour into the greased baking tin and bake for 25-35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool for 30 minutes once baked. Slice and serve butter cake as needed.

Notes

Use very good quality pure vanilla extract as that is the only flavor we are using here.
Make sure to beat the butter and condensed milk until light, fluffy and creamy.
Let the cake cool completely for clean slices.
This cake keeps well for 3-4 days in refrigerator and two days at room temperature.
