How to make Moist Butter Cake( Homemade style)
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Making the Batter
- Step 1
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Step 2
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 3
Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Baking the Cake
- Step 1
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Step 2
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Adding the Glaze
- Step 1
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by melting the butter and water together in a small saucepan over medium heat until combined and warm.
- Step 2
When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top with a skewer or fork.
- Step 3
Pour the warm glaze evenly over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Step 4
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before serving.

Tips & Tricks
Ensure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
Use room temperature eggs and milk to help the batter mix evenly and bake consistently.
Poke holes in the cake while it's still hot to allow the glaze to soak in properly.
For added flavor, you can substitute the water in the glaze with milk or add a splash of vanilla extract.
