A Step-by-Step How To: Butter Cake - Creaming Method


	Place softened butter into the bowl of a mixer.

Whip the butter on low speed about 30 seconds.	While the mixer is still running, slowly add the sugar. Slowly increase the speed of the mixer to medium speed.

Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale in color and very fluffy.	Gradually add the eggs one at a time.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add one third of the dry ingredients to the mixer contents. Mix until the dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.	Add one half of the wet ingredients. After the wet mixture is incorporated, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. This will ensure equal distribution of ingredients.

Alternately add the dry and wet ingredients. You will start and finish with the dry ingredients.	Distribute the batter equally between prepared pans. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake the cake according to your recipe. Cool on a wire rack.
