thanks vry much 4ur timely response.
I'll look for topper brand

Ok, gudluck.

You are probably adding too much butter or your flour is not upto the right quantity. I had this same problem when I newly started baking till I realised I was using X2 of the supposed quantity of butter.


Secondly, there is nothing wrong with simas butter. Though I no longer use it, I use Topper now because of its special flavour but that doesn't mean Simas is bad. The only problem I have with Topper is that it's just too strong and if you are mixing with hand, u go hear am wella.

Depends on you. If I use the same quantity of butter and sugar (which is supposed to be the right thing), my cake will be too sugary so I reduce the quantity of sugar.

Yes.

increase the flour and see how it comes out. now apart from being oily, is the cake moist or dry?

thanks meddler, d cake is vry moist

now that's a bit tricky. increasing the flour might make Ur cake dry. but still test it out. I use simas butter occasionally and haven't experienced the problem u described
