Vanilla Butter Cake

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2. Let butter soften, let eggs come to room temperature.
3. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in mixer until fluffy (5+ minutes).
4. Grease cake tin
5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
6. Add flour one third at a time, combing after each.
7. Add milk, mix until combined.
8. Pour into cake tin. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until skewer tests clean.
9. Cool for 10 minutes in tin, then cool completely on wire rack. Refrigerate before frosting.
10. To make frosting, let butter come to room temperature then beat in blender for 3 minutes on high until it changes colour to almost white and is smooth and creamy.
11. Add icing sugar gradually (3 lots), starting slow and increasing gradually each time and adding once the previous is mostly incorporated.
12. Beat another 3 minutes on high until fluffy.
13. Add vanilla and salt. Beat for 30 seconds. Add milk if too thick (but you want it fairly thick).
14. Pipe the frosting in a tight spiral across the cake (frost it upside down) then smooth out.
