Recipe: Butter Cake with White Chocolate Chips

Ingredients:

• Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Wet Ingredients:
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
• Add-Ins:
  • 1 cup (150 g) white chocolate chips
  • (Optional) 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in Add-Ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest to the batter.
• Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Enjoy your buttery, chocolatey masterpiece! 🍰
