2/3 cups chilled butter, cubed
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease three 8" round cake pans.
- Put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter pieces and pinch with your fingers to create a crumb texture (it's like playing in sand).
- Stir in the cream with a fork until just moistened. Do not over mix.
- Gather dough into a large ball and gently knead on a lightly floured surface, just until smooth (about 5 turns).
- Divide dough into 3 equal portions and press each piece of dough into a prepared cake pan, spreading to edges and making as smooth as possible.
- Bake about 25 minutes or until top is golden. Let cool 5 minutes in pans on wire rack then turn out to cool completely on wire rack.
