Mrs NgSK's Vanilla Butter Cake

This rich and delectable butter cake was highly recommended by my friend Meng Choo. She has made many mouth-watering muffins using this butter cake as the base and incorporated all types of variations. It was such a pleasure to look at her creations!

The butter cake recipe is shared by Wendy in her blogpost Table for 2...or more here. This cake recipe is definitely a keeper! The cake is so soft and fluffy! My mom who is a butter cake lover tried it and she was all praise for this cake!
