Butter Cake


Butter Cake
A butter cake is a cake in which one of the main ingredients is butter.

Best ways to enjoy a slice of butter cake is to eat with a hot cup of coffee/tea or heat up the butter cake with your oven

I would suggest a beginner like me, to try making your very own Butter cake as it is easy and tasty!
