Aunty,
Very happy Lunar New Year!
Nice colour.
Why called it Filipino? How different from normal Buttercake?
Angeline
Hi Angeline,
You might not believe it. A cup of water is added into this butter cake. I thought it might not work but it worked to my surprise. Filipino because my maid , Gina, gave me the recipe.

Hi Aunty Yochana,
Haha, I think your maid is also a good baker by now ... ... She can open up a bakery when she return to her hometown ... ... By then, I don't mind u "hire" me, than I can learn bakery fm u, hehehehe ....
Aunty, is the cake very moist due to the water? What is the texture like?
Regards.
Hi Mool.
It's quite ok lah.... But have to pour in the water in a streamy way so that it blends into the butter. It's good for ppl who doesn't like too buttery taste.
Rgds.
Hi Aunty,
If possible, please share the recipe.
Thanks in advance,
Angeline
hi aunty, happy lunar new year. thanks for ur wonderful blog; where i started my baking journey. ur filipino buttercake look really attractive, can u please share the recipe, thanks in advance.
Hi Aunty, your butter cake looks so nice. Mine always cracks at the top, either due to over-stirring or high oven temp. Are there other reasons? I am using a Microwave Convection oven. Adeline
Hi Adeline.
I've never used microwave oven to bake a cake. Does the plate turn round and round while baking? I'm using a convectional oven.
rgds
Hi aunty, yes the turntable rotates. Strange thing is that my friend who uses a normal oven has cracks on her cakes too. Well, its a mystery that we will continue to crack haha. Adeline
Aunty,
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Can I check with u 138gm are equivalent to how many eggs?
Alison
Hi Alison,
It's about 2 1/2 to 3 eggs. There again, it depends on the size of the eggs.
1 normal medium size = 60 gm.

Made this cake last Wednesday. It's very light in taste(but tasty) & soft. Well received from family members. Thanks Lucy for sharing!

I'm from America. I tried baking this but it always rises and then falls flat. Maybe it's because it's hard to convert grams to cups, and i've tried alot of conversion websites so the ingredients aren't accurate. I hope you could share it in cups too or teaspoons. thank you.
Hiiii.... aunty !!! I really really really love this recipe, is my fav butter cake ... say hi to your maid also ....
Hi aunty,
Happy CNY to you. This is the softest butter cake i've ever made - only managed to make it last nite. Thanks to you and your maid for such a wonderful recipe. From now on, this is the butter cake i'll be making.
