Description
Mastro Butter Cake Recipe isn’t just a dessert—it’s a memory wrapped in golden edges and melting sweetness. The first time I tasted it was on a rare night out, one of those special occasions where the linen napkins feel extra crisp and you linger just a little longer over every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
-
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
-
- 3 large eggs
-
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
-
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
- ½ tsp salt
-
- ½ tsp baking powder
-
- ¼ cup whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
Optional Toppings:
-
- Vanilla ice cream
-
- Whipped cream
-
- Fresh berries
-
- Caramel or chocolate sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan (or a springform pan for easy removal) with butter and lightly dust with flour.
Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugar
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay—this keeps it gooey!).
Step 5: Serve Warm
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for the ultimate Mastro’s experience.
