Butter cake can be served warm or chilled. Either way, it’s going to be good. And like what we have said earlier, you can even frost it if you wish to. It would perfect with any frosting. You can also serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, or whipped cream on top. You know what else would be good with it? Strawberry Compote! You can utilize a store-bought or homemade strawberry compote. It’s very easy to make as well.
Furthermore, you can make a Butter Cake in a round cake tin or a rectangular pan. If you are making it for a party, feel free to make it ahead of time, especially if you want to make several batches. Take note that this simple recipe also freezes well.
