How to Make Butter Cake with Passionfruit Butter
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, ensuring full incorporation before adding the next.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture alternately with ½ cup of whole milk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour the Batter: Pour the smooth batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Spread: Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and spread on your passionfruit butter.
