or down for an everyday snack cake.
The ideal butter cake should have a level or slightly rounded top after baking, an evenly browned crust, and a fine-grained crumb (inside texture) that is soft, smooth, and resilient when touched. The cake should be somewhat sweet, light, tender, and slightly moist. But, many ask: "Why aren't my made-from-scratch cakes as light and fluffy as the kind I make from a mix?" Well, here's your chance to learn how.
Learn the right way to make butter cakes with my Ultimate Butter Cake Recipe with techniques that you can apply to any recipe. I must have gone through 30 pounds of butter fine-tuning my Ultimate Chocolate Butter Cake over and over again to get it right.

Who should take this course?
If you want to master the basics of baking, learning to make a butter cake is a
the best place to start. They are what most of us think of when we think of
cake; they're the old faithful and reliable members of everyone's recipe
collection. Nine times out of ten, if you're making a birthday cake or cupcakes,
you'll use a butter cake recipe, baked with common ingredients that you already
have or can find easily. The texture is sturdy -- especially the pound cake's,
the mother of all butter cakes, whose denseness is perfect for making Bundt or
character cakes. A butter cake's fluid batter allows you to bake it in
practically any shape imaginable.
