Or do it my way; don’t worry about calories, indulge happily, enjoy the goodness of butter and do a little extra walking the next two days.. Simple!

Well, coming back to the recipe, this is the best and easy butter cake recipe, and may be the most popular one. The butter flavor is all that makes this cake super delicious. I love the moist texture, the look and with no cream and frosting it still continues to lure us with its simplicity.  Another wonderful thing is that, it is best eaten warm; so no need for security to keep away the kids from attacking the cake before it is cool enough. Sounds good, right? If at all there is any left over, I slightly warm it in the microwave oven, before serving. The buttery flavor is best when it is warm.You may also like my Dates and carrot cake, Chocolate chip cookies, Chocolate Orange Cake, Golden Pineapple Jam roll, Melting moments cookies, Black Currant Muffins, Vanilla Sponge Cake, Hot milk Sponge Cake, Orange cake or other yummy bakes.

• Fresh eggs should be used for a better result.
