This authentic Boterkoek (Dutch butter cake) was passed to me by my husband's Tante Wil, surprisingly it doesn't have any almond in it.
It is a very simple easy to make cake using few ingredients and it is a firm favourite with my family. It reminds me of shortbread but it is much more moist with a different taste and texture.
175 g softened butter
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
Mix in the egg
Mix in the flour
Grease a 20cm tin
Press down mixture evenly
Shape top of cake if desired
Optional: Brush top with milk
Bake in 180o oven for 30 minutes in 2 loaf tins or 45 minutes in the long expandable loaf tin
Leave in tin for 10 minutes. But cut whilst warm.
Enjoy with a nice cuppa.

ReplyDeleteHubby loves making cakes - will have to see if he can try this recipe out ;)
Yes, it is very simple, with just a few ingreients - just make sure not to overcook it. It is supposed to be heavy and moist!
