Usually, carbohydrate is essential for our body to deliver energy to our brain, body, and muscles. This energy will help us to keep awake.

Notes

• To avoid tearing and squishing this delicious butter cake, always try to use a long serrated knife to slice the Cake into pieces. 
• Don’t use cold eggs. Always bring the eggs to room temperature so that the eggs can incorporate into the cake batter without overbeating. If you forget to bring your eggs out of the refrigerator, place the eggs inside the bowl with warm water. 
• Use a measuring cup or kitchen scale to use flour at a perfect amount because too much flour may cause to make your Cake dense. 
• Avoid opening the oven to check the Cake because by doing this, hot air will release from the oven that may cause your butter cake to cook unevenly.
