The warm aroma of butter and vanilla baking in the oven, the golden crust gently cracking as it rises—this is more than just a cake. It’s a story. A memory. A sweet whisper from someone’s kitchen, full of love and life. These butter loaf cakes are a tribute to tradition and tenderness, beautifully baked in individual foil pans, ready to be gifted, sold, or shared with someone you love. We call them “Lovera Loaves”—because every bite feels like a warm hug from someone who cares.

INGREDIENTS (For 10 Mini Loaf Cakes)

Dry Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (450g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 ½ cups (500g) granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional for brightness)
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk or buttermilk

Optional Add-ins:

  • Chocolate chips
  • Dried fruits (cranberries, raisins)
  • Swirls of jam or Nutella
  • A touch of cinnamon for a cozy feel

METHOD

1. Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).
  • Lightly grease and flour your mini foil pans or simply use them as is.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

2. Creaming:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes using a mixer).
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

3. Combine Wet and Dry:

  • Alternate adding flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture. Start and end with the flour. Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.

4. Fill the Pans:

  • Spoon batter evenly into the prepared foil loaf pans. Fill each about ¾ full.

5. Bake:

  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are beautifully golden and cracked.

6. Cool:

  • Let cakes cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then allow to fully cool.
