Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cut In The Butter
Beat The Egg
Mix The Wet Ingredients
Combine The Wet And Dry Ingredients
Scoop The Cake Batter
Bake The Cakes

Preheat your oven to 375°F. This will give your oven enough time to come up to temperature while you mix together your ingredients.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the room temperature butter until it forms small pea-sized pieces throughout the mixture. Make sure not to overwork the mixture to keep the butter cold.
In a small bowl, beat your egg until it is slightly frothy. This will help it incorporate better into the cake batter.
In a separate bowl, mix together the beaten egg, whole milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring with a spatula, until well combined. Make sure not to overmix.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the cake batter into greased muffin cups.
Bake the cakes for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin cups for about 10 minutes before removing them from the tin.
Enjoy the delicious fat cakes while they are still warm or store them in an airtight container for up to two days.
That's it! With just a few simple steps, you can make some delicious fat cakes that are perfect for any occasion. Give this recipe a try and let me know how you liked it. Don't forget to add your own spin by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or spices to the batter to make it even more decadent.
