Steps

3

Sieve the dry ingredients together.
4

Add the flour mixture in batches, alternating with the eggs while mixing. Add the 5-6tsp of water.
5

Add the vanilla flavour/extract last. Divide batter into the grease cake pans and bake for 30mins or till a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
