Butter cake
X BO automatic programme butter cake
Preparation
Prepare the dough
Heat up the milk in a pan over a very low heat. Meanwhile, put the other ingredients in the mixing bowl of your food processor, add the milk and knead into a smooth dough. Leave to rise in the X BO (35°C/40% humidity, special programme “Prove dough”) for 1 hour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough evenly to the size of the universal tray and leave to prove in the X BO for another 15 minutes.
Prepare the topping
Melt the butter in a pan then fold in the sugar and sliced almonds. Remove the dough from the X BO and carefully brush it with the almond and butter mixture.
Bake the cake
Bake the cake in the X BO (150°C/20% humidity, automatic programme “Butter cake”) for 25 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and pour the liquid cream over it while it is still warm.
Pro tip
To achieve perfectly airy, crusty baked goods, use the special programme “Prove dough” after making the dough. To vary the recipe and make the cake even moister, different fruits can be added to the dough before baking.
