British pronunciation
/bʌtə keɪk/

Butter Cake is a type of cake that is made with a high proportion of butter, resulting in a rich, tender crumb and a delicate buttery flavor

It is made from a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, which gives the cake its signature buttery flavor and texture. Butter cake can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as loaf cakes, layer cakes, or cupcakes. The cake is often flavored with ingredients such as vanilla extract or lemon zest, which add a delicate and nuanced flavor to the cake.

There are two main types of cakes:
butter cakes (also known as shortened cakes)
foam cakes.
The distinction between these two broad categories of cake is in the fat content.
