My mom has been wanting to make a simple butter cake for a long time but we kept postponing the plan. Last weekend it finally materialized and we made an orange butter cake since we had oranges lying down in the refridgerator. Making the cake reminded me of my childhood days. Those days when anyone made cakes we would hopefully wait until the batter is dished out into the baking pan so that we could relish the sweet creamy batter of sugar,butter,eggs and flour stuck to the dish. The taste experience was orgasmic. But now when I'm all grown up and much more educated, I simply could not bring myself to consume the mixture of raw eggs for the fear of Salmonella and all. But then, those were the good days ain't it? I'm not putting down the recipe here but its basically a 8-6-6-4 combination with orange rind and raisins and the juice of one orange. The outcome: The house was infiltrated with the heavenly aroma of the oranges and the texture of the cake was soft. The cake was made on Saturday evening and now there isnt even one piece left. I guess that should explain everything right.

i remind me of my first time butter cake baking failure!! It looks simple but in fact, its not... any tips for baking a goof butter cake?
Good tips...now let me see..actually I was hoping that someone could share this with me cause I'm sort of a 'cin cai" person when it comes to this..I'll usually just follow the method I always use without finding out why..But I remember reading somewhere that for a lighter cake we should separate the eggs. Beat the yolks into the batter first and beat up all the egg whites and mix it last to the batter. Haven't tried that method before so I really cant comment on the outcome. Any tips from the readers??
I think that it is explained just fine! :) This is my mom's favourite kind of cake.
You took me back to Saturday afternoons helping my mom with her weekend baking. She always made buns, cakes, and bread for the week so we would have snacks to take to school.
You know, I was never one of those who liked to have the remnants of the cake batter... my brother and sister though, they loved it.
