Cheddar Cheese Butter Cake

It's been queit some times I didn't bake for my family. Last night I decided to make something for them. Something that they would love with a bit more calories as my husband and kids are in the process of recovery from common cold.

This recipe came out just in the last minute when I was confused deciding which recipe that I should use. I wanted to make marble cake from my mom's old recipe but I wanted to add more milk in it so I did a little experiment with a believe that the cake would be turned out okay as the base recipe taken from butter cake recipe.

Yes, the cake turned out just what I expected. It's very moist and every one loves it! My husband had 3 slices for breakfast this morning and kids already had more than 2 slices each last night when the cake was fresh from the oven.
