Brown Sugar Cake

I didn’t think the cake would turn out as it did. When looking at the ingredients I just expected a “normal” cake because of how simple it was. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the cake was. The crumb was really beautiful – moist and smooth, and dense in a good way. Topped with chocolate frosting and white chocolate "curls", the cake was irresistible and my guest helped themselves to another and another slice without me politely asking them to take a slice more.

Ingredients:
3 cups flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 ½ cups soft butter
500 grams dark brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
5 eggs

Instructions
Preheat oven to 200° (well, in my case it was 200°, but it may differ based on what kind of oven is used)

Combine flour, baking powder, salt in a mixing bowl
Beat butter until it becomes light and fluffy. While still mixing, slowly add the brown sugar and then the brown sugar.
Add the eggs, one by one, and beat well after each time you add a new one.
Add half the milk and half the flour-mixture. Beat well. Then add the other half of the milk and flour-mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Scrape the batter into a greased pan and place it inside the preheated oven until a knife or wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time depends on your oven – it took 30 minutes for the cake to be baked in my oven, but it may take longer or less time in your oven.

Take cake out and let cool.

I topped mine with chocolate frosting which complemented it really well!

You can also top it with caramel glaze or melted chocolate :D I have tried both and they both go very well with this fabulous cake!
