Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
Cream the butter soft, at room temperature: cold butter doesn't take in air, and melted butter doesn't hold it.
One egg at a time, and only when the previous one is absorbed: that way the emulsion holds and the batter doesn't split into curds.
Fold with a spatula, in broad strokes from the bottom up, and stop when there's no dry flour: vigorous mixing of a batter with flour develops gluten.

Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.

Beat butter and sugar until air is worked into the butter, and add the eggs gradually to form an emulsion; only then add the flour.
Pound cake, from which butter cake developed, is made with equal weights of butter, sugar, flour and eggs.
