Instructions
Vanilla Flavore Butter Cake
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two 10 x 8-inch rectangular pans with baking paper.
- Sift together flour and baking powder; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until pale in color. Add the sugar and beat on high speed until creamed together, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat to combine.
- Reduce mixer speed to medium and add flour mixture alternating with the milk, beat until just combined and smooth. Do not over mix. The batter will become thin.
- Divide the batter into two equal portions and add a dollop of pink and green food colorings to each half. Mix well separately.
- Pour the prepared batter into the lined trays and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the pans and let it cool on a wire rack.
