Raisin butter sponge cake is a quite popular type of cake, often seen at tea parties. Save this recipe and give it a try.
Raisin butter cake, a variation of traditional sponge cake, is enhanced with raisins and rum, making it more special and delicious. This cake is easy to bake in the oven, with the aroma of butter, the sweetness of raisins, and the richness of milk.
Ingredients:
- 80g granulated sugar
- 100g softened unsalted butter
- 120g all-purpose flour
- 3g baking powder
- 20g almond flour
- 2 chicken eggs
- 60g raisins
- 50g rum
If rum is unavailable, it can be replaced with warm water. However, rum will impart a more flavorful aroma to the cake.
How to make raisin butter cake:
Step 1:
- Soak the raisins in 50g rum (or warm water) for at least 2 hours. Cut the butter into cubes and put it in a bowl with the sugar.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the butter until it turns pale and smooth, then turn off the machine.
- Separate egg yolks and egg whites. Beat the egg whites until fluffy with sugar and flour.
- Beat the egg yolks until smooth and mix well with flour and baking powder until the mixture is smooth. Use a spatula to fold the flour mixture gently.
- The folding technique is performed as follows: Divide the lighter ingredient, which is the beaten egg whites, into 2-3 portions and fold each portion into the heavier ingredient, which is the egg yolk mixture. Use a spatula to mix gently from the bottom, lifting the heavier mixture in a circular motion until the mixture is well combined and smooth. All actions must be gentle, absolutely avoiding excessive force, as doing so will deflate all the air bubbles in the cake mixture, resulting in poor rising and a tough texture.
Step 2:
- Remove the raisins and drain them, then mix them evenly with the flour mixture in a bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Pour the batter into the cake mold and place it in the oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes of baking, use a knife dipped in hot water to cut the cake in half, then continue to place the mold in the oven for another 30 minutes until the cake turns golden brown. Then remove the cake from the oven.
The aroma of butter and rum intertwines exquisitely as the freshly baked cake emerges from the oven, its golden slices smooth and enticing, complemented by the tangy sweetness of raisins. Indulge in a slice of raisin sponge cake for breakfast with a glass of fresh milk, or savor it during leisurely afternoons with a steaming cup of tea; it's truly delightful.
