been awhile since I am on a baking spree, this time for finding the best butter cake. I like butter cake with a bit more structure and body and moist(not wet), nothing too light and airy. Below recipe 1 & 2 are good. Definitely need rebakes of the recipe to pinpoint which is better because they are quite similar and both tasty

Recipe 1: (pictured above)
McCormick 9*5 loaf 175C >35 minutes, nice not too sweet(used 180C 1hr mistakenly but tasted ok)
169g butter
160g sugar (ori 300g)
0.38 tsp salt
2.25 tsp vanilla Extract
3 eggs
180g milk
202g flour
2.25 tsp baking powder

Recipe 2: pictured above
Vanilla butter cake, 180C 35-40min, 9*5 loaf. Tested 35+5 min ok. McCormick recipe less sweet and has better taste
However, this VBC taste better on 2nd day
160g butter
114g sugar
0.25 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
142g egg without shell
2.1 TBSP milk
133g cake flour
1.4 tsp baking powder

Recipe 3: (no pic)
Azie(blend all together) 170C 30min(can try 175C 20-25min), 7inch round pan. Feels a bit dry.
115 gram gula kaster
115 gram mentega – suhu bilik
115 gram telur
110 gram flour + >1.25 tsp baking powder+<0.25 tsp salt
30g susu segar

Recipe 4:pictured above
Chelsea butter cake 9*5 loaf 180C 1 hour, not nice, not tender and quite hard/glutens, whereby you can see the kuih like craters in the cake
60g butter (melted)
150g White Sugar (ori 200g)
Pinch of salt
250g liquid(2 eggs + approx 180g milk)
150g cake flour, (AP flour mixed with 2.5 TBSP corn flour)
1.7 tsp baking powder
Pour liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.

Recipe 5: (pictured above)
Marble cake, 170C tested 39min ok, 9*5 loaf. A bit too light and also quite crumbly, not sure if baking is less will help much and I prefer butter cake with more substance and slight moist. May try reduce baking powder to 1.5 tsp to make it less airy?
Melt 55g choc with 3 TBSP milk
71g butter beat fluffy 95g sugar
<0.25 tsp salt
Add 1 egg+3 TBSP yogurt slowly
115g flour+1.9 tsp baking powder
Split mixture to half, add half tsp vanilla to plain, add chocolate to another
Pour alternately to pan and swirl lightly
