Buttermilk cake

This is a super moist cake recipe you are bound to fall in love with. The buttermilk makes a difference in the moistness and taste. It's a sure hit!!!

*Always start by pre-heating your oven (baking on gas Mark 5 for 45-50mins depending on oven)

For the cake:

*3 cups self raising flour (320g)

*1 cup caster sugar  (200g)

*225g butter

*1 tsp vanilla extract 

*250ml buttermilk 

*5 eggs

For the glaze 

*60g butter 

*11/2 tbsp water

*1 tbsp vanilla extract

*1/3 cup caster sugar (67g)

1. Cream butter and sugar together for 6mins on high speed

2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, then continue to beating on high speed 

3. Add in the buttermilk (don't worry the batter will cuddle up)

4. Then the flour (use a wooden spoon at this point) mixing thoroughly 

5. Pour batter into a baking pan, and bake 

6. While the cake is baking, measure the glaze ingridents into a pan. Place on the cooker, while stirring continuously (don't boil). Until the sugar dissolves then set aside.

 7. Once the cake is well baked, poke through then drizzle the glaze over it. (Tip** don't take the cake out of the pan, drizzle the glaze over then leave for few hours before putting a knife through... Resistant lolll)
