Butter cake

After baking 9 breads over the past 2 weeks, its time to try something more adventurous - baking a cake. I'm sure the ever reliable Zojirushi breadmaker would continue to deliver exceptionally high standard pastry. I am not disappointed.

The recipe for baking a cake can be found at near the back of the recipe book. The preparation process is much longer than I expected - 45 minutes. I usually take around 20 minutes to finish preparation for a bread. But the time invested is well worth it. Of course the delicious cake couldn't even stay on the plate long enough - it snapped up! Sorry I'm not bragging my cooking skills. I have none. The breadmaker did the job for me. I just do my part to clean up and savour the cake.

How to do it:
Put butter (about 57g or 0.25 cup) in measuring cup. Melt it. Once melted you can proceed.
Sift plain flour and baking powder
2 large eggs beat lightly
Pour eggs into container
Pour milk (0.25 cup) into container.
Put sifted flour and baking powder into container.

Here's a series of shots of that lovely butter cake.
