How to make golden buttermilk cake?
Delicious and refined doesn't have to be difficult. This aromatic buttermilk cake is the perfect proof of that.
We start by weighing and mixing the dry ingredients. In this case, that includes the flour, baking powder, sugar, and vanilla sugar.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat, ensuring it doesn't start to boil.
While the butter melts, preheat the oven to 170°C so it reaches the correct temperature by the time we put the cake in. Also, grease the cake mold in advance.
Next, mix the liquid ingredients into the batter. Start by adding the buttermilk, followed by the melted butter. Finally, incorporate the eggs into the batter.
Optionally, you can add a splash of rum aroma for an exotic touch.
Pour the batter into the cake mold and place it in the oven. Bake for 60 minutes at 170°C. Then remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the mold for a few minutes-this will help it firm up. Take the cake out of the mold and allow it to cool further. If desired, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar over the yellow buttermilk cake.
