Iced Vanilla Butter Cake


Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 320F. Grease and line a deep 8″ round cake pan.

Step 2
Place all the ingredients for the cake into a large mixing bowl and mix using an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat until a thick, slightly paler batter forms.

Step 3
Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until dark golden brown, and a skewer comes out clean (test after one hour). Stand cake 5 minutes, then turn onto wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4
To prepare the icing, simply stir the ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 5
Pour the icing over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Serve.
