"SLC-S24/W1 | Butter cake"

Greetings and welcome to my blog. Am excited to be a part of this beautiful cake class and am excited because it’s been a while I ate a home made cake and I felt it was another time to give myself a Savoury treat. Thank you @m-fdo for such a beautiful opportunity to explore again.

Make the given recipe in detail with step by step pictures. Include your name tag with the date at the final presentation of the recipe.

So I made a savory and delicious home made butter cake and these were the ingredients and procedures I used for it.

Ingredients:

Flour
Butter
Eggs
Baking powder
Sugar
Vanilla flavor

Procedure:

I put the butter in a plate and added sugar to it and mixed the two of them together for a while and then I added the egg to it and continued stirring until well mixed.

I then proceeded to sift my flour and mixed it with baking powder. I added the mixture of the flour and baking powder into the butter and thoroughly worked them into the butter mixture. I then proceeded to add the vanilla flavor and mixed again.

I cleaned my baking pan and added the dough into the pan. I didn’t have an oven hence I used a manual oven by putting sand into the pot, preheating it and I placed my baking pan with the mixture into it and covered tight.

I allowed it to bake under low heat for about thirty minutes. I checked with a stick to know if it is ready and yes it was.

My cake was ready to be devoured and I brought down the goodness. I was surrounded with friends who joined me in eating the cake and they all attested to the sweetness, fluffiness and nice taste.

What difficulties did you encounter while making this recipe?

I didn’t encounter any form of difficulty at all. I simply followed the step by step procedure as shown in the class and the cake came out perfect.

Explain the importance of each of the ingredients you used in making this cake.

Each of the ingredient used in making the cake has its unique importance and they includes:

• Flour: The flour is the ingredient that provides the Structure, the texture and also serves as the base for the cake.

• Egg: The egg is the binding agent. It helps to add richness, moisture and also has leavening properties.

• ⁠Sugar: The sugar comes in handy as the agent of sweetness, it also makes for tenderness and the browning of the cake.

• ⁠Baking powder: The baking powder is the leavening agent that helps the cake to rise well.

• ⁠Butter: Butter helps to contribute moisture, makes the cake very tender and also gives flavor to the cake.

• ⁠Vanilla flavor: The vanilla flavor helps to enhance the general or overall aroma and flavor of the cake.

The combination of all these ingredients in the right proportions helps to Create a cake that is delicious, fluffy and moist.

If you were given the opportunity to share this delicious cake with a Steemit friend, who would you share it with?

I would share my cake with @edu-chemist. He is one steemian that I love his dedication and engagement spirit in steemit. Over the few months he joined, he has shown a lot of resilience and commitment to his blogging journey. His determination and resilience is seen in the type of blogs he creates. They are quality posts and in them you’d just see a soul who is willing to give back to the system.

I am sharing this cake with him as an encouragement to him to let him know that he is on the right part and that he is doing a great job. Commitment and dedication pays and I know that with the way he is going, he is going to go places and he is going to have a swell time in this ecosystem.

Dear edu-chemist, keep doing what you are doing. Keep pushing and making giant strides. You would look back and it would be worth all the effort you’ve put in one. Am routing for you. Steem on.

Thank you for reading through. I ask @abovefingers, @jovita30 and @tykay to join the contest.
