  2. 2

    In a bowl, cream (mix) together the sugar and butter until fluffy and pale. (About 5-7 mins if using an electric hand mixer. Longer if you are using a wooden spoon)

  3. 3

    Add the eggs, one at a time until thoroughly mixed.

    Leave to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes then remove from the tin an cool completely before icing. I used whipping cream for this cake. You can use buttercream, fondant or any other icing of your choice.
