Traditional Butter Cake Recipe with SCS Butter and availability at The Hainan Story

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and one of the things I look forward to is the traditional butter cake!
This cake is baked with one whole block of SCS butter (bit.ly/LazSCSButter) and results in that nostalgic flavour that I grew up with. SCS has been a household brand since 1905 and its quality is recognized by both home and professional bakers. What makes SCS different is that the cream is double churned to give it that velvety texture.
I've been working with the bakers from The Hainan Story to reproduce this cake according to my recipe so you can now pick up a traditional butter cake at any of The Hainan Story outlets! (until 15 April 2024) It is as close as you can get to actually baking it yourself at home!

Happy Baking and Happy Eating!

Hello Leslie, I always enjoy watching your food videos, the butter cake looks so flavourful. 😊

Dear dear Doc. Bought 2 whole butter cake today and placed an order for 6 next week even before tasting cos I trust your taste and baking explicitly. Woow almost finished one cake within the day. Bravo!! Brings back such sweet childhood days memories of my grandma n aunties baking. Love it totally. Thank you

[@ieatishootipost]

Wow! So glad you like it! Thanks for the encouraging feedback!

Leslie, I admire your food-related passion. I’m 77years young, an ex-Singaporean and like yourself, my food-related passion is still strong. May I ask where you purchased the cloth strips. I’ve made some myself and use them frequently, however I dampen the strips beforehand.

[@ieatishootipost]

I bought them at Redman Toa Payoh which has a special section for Wiltshire products

[@jessicacheong4251]

Hi doc, can I replace the sour cream with plain yoghurt? Thank you 🙏

[@ieatishootipost]

I'm afraid it wont work with plain yoghurt. You may omit the sour cream but your cake won't be as moist.

[@marieaw1254]

Can cream of tartar be omitted? If not, what can it be substitute with?

[@ieatishootipost]

Yes it can be omitted. It is just extra insurance for stable egg whites

Afternoon chef, can I fold in alcohol soaked fruits into the batter ?

[@ieatishootipost]

For that, please have a look at my light fruit cake recipe: ieatishootipost.sg/leslies-light-fruit-cake-recipe-new-method-to-prevent-dried-fruit-from-sinking-guaranteed-to-work/

Can replace caster sugar with brown sugar?

[@ieatishootipost]

@@suelangyeo5288 You can but the flavour will be different.

[@brendachua5519]

May l know where the location?

[@ieatishootipost]

You may pick up the cake at any Hainan Story outlets found here - www.thehainanstory.com/page/locate-us

[@msiaci7297]

why the batter look split

[@ieatishootipost]

Yes, the butter was a bit too cold, but the cake turned out ok

[@sergiomiguelborjabarrera6673]

You didn't add baking powder, did You?

[@n4_ku]

I think the it's because he used self-rising flower.

[@sergiomiguelborjabarrera6673]

@@n4_ku thanks a lot for your comment. I didn't realize the He used self-rising flower. His butter cake is really delicious. I admire Him.

[@ieatishootipost]

Thanks!!

[@ieatishootipost]

Yes didn't add baking powder because self-raising flour was used. You may add 1 tsp of baking powder to your plain or cake flour if you prefer. But I prefer cake flour as it gives a softer texture.

[@ieatishootipost]

Yep, you got it! :)

[@lili-ew9iq]

What about chocolate butter cake?

[@ieatishootipost]

Oh I haven’t started experimenting yet!

[@chiachercheng8339]

Leslie, don’t talk rubbish, just because they sponsored you, I respect you, but be mindful.

[@ieatishootipost]

Which part is rubbish, please?
