Buttercake

Finally found the best, the simplest and yet delicious basic butter cake recipe. I copied the recipe from Pea Delicacies with a little bit adjustment on the technique when come to adding the egg. A friend told me not to put the whole egg, to get better result. Just beat the white egg at the last process untill it really pluffy and add into your butter. And yes!!!....it's owesome. Habis licin kek pertama yang masak. ...now anak2 masih mintak buat lagi...kali ni nak letak icing pulak...

Here is the recipe :

200gm self raising flour, sifted with ½ tsp salt

Method
• Grease and line a 20cm cake tin with greaseproof paper. Preheat oven to 170C
