Soften Butter Quickly With This Trick | Sally's Baking Recipes

The reason you use soft butter is because you want to whip the butter (also called "creaming the butter") with or without sugar. It is very difficult to whip a cold stick of butter.

Why beat butter? To get air bubbles in it that expand during baking.
