Tip

The creaming of the butter and sugar is crucial for making the cake rise high and evenly. Here's the simplified science behind it - imagine the sugar crystal sticking to a butter globule. The two types of round shapes leave little air gaps where they join and it is this air that expands when heated in the oven making the cake rise. So the theory of creaming butter and sugar is to make the distribution of these little sugar crystal/butter globules even so that when the air expands it expands evenly throughout the cake. I have included the technique for creaming butter and sugar in this recipe. So now you know tmrc_emoticons.)
