30 Second Vanilla Butter Cake

This is a great basic cake recipe for decorating! A base for drip cakes, naked cakes, rainbow/ombre layer cakes, buttercream, fondant, or even dusted with icing sugar!! This is quick, easy, and is a super light and fluffy butter cake which is nice and firm for decorating.

The cornflour in the recipe adds to a fluffier, lighter texture. In comparison to previous butter cake recipes I used in the past, the crumbs are much bigger and it can taste quite heavy. This is a lot lighter with finer crumbs which makes it taste (and is quick to make) like a 'packet mix' kind of cake!
