The famous Mrs Ng SK Butter Cake

This is the first successful Butter cake after my previous failed chiffon cake attempt... was telling myself i dont wan to bake anymore since that failure....

But after seeing so many ladies baking this and saying its easy etc... i decided to try again...

Indeed, it is nice!!! u see, a junior like me can bake and it didnt crack nor sink... lol!!!

Benji said that this is a "science" , not skill,  just get the steps right and this is the results...

6. Put in half the egg whites and beat in low speed. Pour the balance and fold
7. Pour batter into the pans and level
