Vanilla Sponge Tray Bake - School dinner style

This will take you back to primary school days. The kids will love it.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
FOR THE SPONGE: Preheat your oven to 180C and line a 9x13 baking pan baking pan.
- 2
Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl and whisk well to aerate then set aside.
- 3
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. If you have an electric mixer/whisk it's much easier and quicker.
- 4
Add the eggs, one at at time, beating on low each time until combined. Scrape around the bowl as necessary. It may look a little split at this point but don't worry the flour will bring it together.
- 5
Add the milk and vanilla and gently mix through.
- 6
Swap to a spatula and gently mix through ⅓ of the flour mixture at a time until it is all just combined. Careful not to overmix.
- 7
Tip into the tin and gently spread out, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a crumb or two attached. I recommend checking at around 18 minutes as oven times vary.
- 8
Let it cool completely before glazing.
- 9
To turn it out, place a wire rack on top and flip the whole thing over. Remove the baking paper, the place another rack on top of the cake and flip again to get it back up the right way.

FOR THE ICING: Mix together the icing sugar and half the water. Slowly add more water until it gets to the desired consistency, then pour it over the cooled cake.
- 11
Add your sprinkles and leave icing to set for an hour. Serve with hot creamy custard.

Chocolate Sponge Cake (Sokolatopita) Chocolate Sponge Cake (Sokolatopita)
Chocolate mmmmhhh a favorite sweet that most just love. I haven’t made this Chocolate Sponge cake in a while, and I decided to make it last night. I had all the ingredients and it only took about 35 minutes. Just mixed, baked and it was ready!When the cake finally cooled off, it was time to start pouring the homemade chocolate syrup on top, I have to admit just looking at it had me drooling and I’m not even a chocolate lover…Me like white Chocolate. 🙂Every dish or dessert I make I have to taste, this cake has me second guessing about not liking chocolate!!! 🙂 I added Cognac into the batter just to give it a bit of twist 🙂If you haven’t had Chocolate Sponge Cake try this recipe you’ll love it!!

Tray-bake Apple Cake Tray-bake Apple Cake
When I was a child, my mother always used to make this cake when apples were in season.You don't have to measure the ingredients exactly! You won't mess this up even if youjust roughly measure the ingredients using a cup!! Adjust the amount of sugar and lemon juice depending on the sourness of the apples you use. I used Fuji apples, but if you use baking apples, you may need to use about 1.5 times more sugar. Recipe by Megyumiruku cookpad.japan -
