Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups batter, enough for about 12 small cakes (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
Chocolate Glaze for Miniature Yellow Butter Cakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a cast-iron pan, and dust with all-purpose flour, tapping out excess. Sift together flours, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  • Fill pan halfway, and bake until golden around edges (time will vary depending on size of pan). Remove from oven, and let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Transfer cakes from pan to a wire rack. Let cool. Coat each with glaze just before serving.

I've made these cakes several times and they always turn out great. They're a really versatile recipe and you can add different flavors or toppings to change them up.

These cakes are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think they would be better with a less sweet frosting.

I'm not a big fan of butter cakes, but these are really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice crumb.
