  1. 180 gramsself raising flour
  2. 180 gramsbutter or margarine
  3. 180 gramscaster sugar
  4. 3eggs
  5. 50 mlmilk
  6. 2sandwich tins,or cake tins
  7. 5 mlvanilla essense(optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    preheat oven 180c,or gas mark 4 1/2.

  2. 2

    take butter and eggs out of fridge about an hour before baking.

  3. 3

    mix sugar and butter until pale and creamy.add vanilla essense if you choose to add at this stage..in separate bowl beat eggs. gradually add eggs in to butter mixture beating constantly to prevent curdling.if you see any sign of curdling,add generous pinch of flour,it should help stopping mixture curdling.

  4. 4

    add flour and mix well.finally add milk,little at time,and each addition mix well.

  5. 5

    pour mixture into two cake tins,i use 9 inch but any size may be used.if using 7 inch,decrease heat and extend baking time.

  6. 6

    bake for about 25 min. I check sponge by pricking sponge with skewer. if skewer comes out clean,your cake is done :-D

  7. 7

    after cooling cakes in their tins,take sponge out,decorate to your own liking...i simply added chocolate buttercream(mix 80g icing sugar,30g half melted butter,1 big teaspoonful of coco powder)
