Butter Cake – Guaranteed Soft & Fluffy (Halal Recipe)

This butter cake is rich, tender, and beautifully soft — the kind of classic cake that never fails. Made with halal ingredients and simple steps, it’s perfect for tea time, birthdays, or as a base for layered cakes.

Ingredients (Halal)

200 g unsalted halal butter, softened at room temperature
120 g sugar
3 large eggs
200 g plain flour
2 tbsp halal powdered milk
1 tsp baking powder
80 ml halal milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (alcohol-free)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
Grease and line an 18–20 cm round cake pan with parchment paper.
This helps the cake bake evenly and prevents sticking.

2. Cream the Butter & Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer.
Continue mixing for 3–5 minutes until the mixture becomes pale, light, and fluffy.
This step creates the cake’s soft texture.

3. Add the Eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
This prevents the batter from curdling and keeps it smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract.

4. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered milk, and baking powder.
This ensures the dry ingredients blend evenly into the batter.

5. Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures

Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix gently.
Pour in the milk and mix again until combined.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and fold until everything is just incorporated.
Do not overmix, or the cake may become dense.

6. Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread the surface evenly.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until:
- the top is golden
- a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

Every oven is slightly different, so start checking at 40 minutes.
