Tea Cake Recipe

113g butter

150g granulated sugar

100g eggs

5g vanilla extract

220g sour cream

190g all-purpose flour

7g baking powder

3g baking soda

1g ground nutmeg

3g table salt

Powdered sugar for topping

Prepare your 8 X 8 inch pan with some pan spray and parchment. Sift your dry ingredients together. This would be the ap flour, baking soda, baking powder and the table salt. You can preheat the oven to 375°F now as well.

Cream out the butter and sugar. This might take upwards of 10 minutes depending on how soft your butter is. Once it's pretty fluffy and you have scraped down the sides of the mixer a couple of times, you can add the eggs one at a time. Don't add the next egg until the first one disappears. Now you have all your creamed ingredients in a fluffy state, you can add 1/2 the flour mixture. Add 1/2 the sour cream. Finish this up with the remaining flour and sour cream. The batter is mixed. Add the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top out. Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Test for doneness. When it's baked, let it cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan. Dust the cake liberally with powdered sugar and enjoy a very delicious simple cake.
