10 Minutes Rice Flour Butter Cake

I came across this recipe at 2.30am midnight this morning. Hands so itchy and keep on calculating the time it will take me to finish this cake. 3.30am, I think. Wanted to start on it immediately but I was afraid hubby will wakes up and find me missing from the bedroom again. Sure show me black face... Sigh... In the end, I did this first thing in the morning when I walk into my kitchen. BEFORE my breakfast and coffee. I finished weighing, mixing and putting it into the oven in 10 minutes. 

Initially, I was a bit afraid that gluten will form if I beat the plain flour for 3 minutes. But I was wrong.. I timed the mixing using a timer and scrape the mixing bowl every 1 minute.

The texture is very fine. Almost like a normal butter pound cake using the creaming of butter and sugar method. The cake did not rise much and suprisingly, its quite yummy. Will surely do this again if I am craving for a nice slice of butter cake to go with my Chatime.
