Firm cake for decoration - butter cake

I need to make a cake for my pastor's last day, so I searched on google for a recipe - it is a firm cake. I want it because of the decoration, it helps to ice the cake and it did :)

When I cut it, it is really firm, unlike sponge cake, very dense. I was afraid that people won't like the texture, but I got very positive feedbacks, I'm happy :)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups butter, room temperature
• 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 tsp No Color Almond Extract
• 3 cups flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, mix butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in eggs, one by one. Then add in vanilla & almond extract.
Note: If you don't have almond extract at home, just use vanilla.

2. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Then mix into the egg mixture with milk alternatively => Flour mixture, milk, flour mixture, milk...

3. Pour the mixture to the pan/mold and bake for 40mins or until golden color.


Enjoy!
