The Best Way to Quickly Soften Butter

As it turns out though, there is a better, faster way.

“The safe way to melt butter in the microwave is alongside a glass with 1/2 cup water. The water absorbs some microwave energy and prevents hot spots and spattering. I'm thinking that could work for softening it, too.

The butter is beaten or “creamed” for several minutes with sugar before the other ingredients are added in two or three parts, alternating with each other. If the butter is too cold, it will not form an emulsion with the other ingredients and the batter will curdle. If the butter is too warm it will not be plastic enough to survive a lengthy beating without breaking down ; the batter will not trap air and the cake will not have a beautiful crumb.
