This has to be my all time favorite cake. It’s rich buttery flavour is absolutely addictive. It’s a beautiful moist cake but dense enough to be used in any tiered cake. It’s an all time favorite for wedding cakes, birthday cakes or any special occasion or everyday cake. Give it a try…you’ll LOVE it.

  3. Cream butter & sugar in mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time and mix well after each addition.
