Ingredients

  • 240g Butter or margarine
  • 240g Caster sugar
  • 240g eggs (approximately 4 medium eggs)
  • 240g Self raising flour

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Stand mixer or electric whisk (or wooden spoon!)
  • Sieve
  • Spatula
  • Two 7" sandwich tins lined with baking parchment

Method

  • Step 1.

    Pre-heat your oven to 170-180 degrees centigrade

  • Step 2.

    Soften the butter or margarine slightly (if not already at room temperature)

  • Step 3.

    Add the caster sugar, and beat together the butter and sugar for around 5 minutes until light and fluffy

  • Step 4.

    Crack the eggs into a jug, and gradually add to the mixture one at a time, beating for around 1 minute before the next egg is added

  • Step 5.

    Using the sieve, sift the flour into the mixture and gradually fold in with the spatula, being careful not to overmix

  • Step 6.

    Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and bake for 20-30 minutes until well risen, golden brown, and a skewer inserted comes out clean

  • Step 7.

    Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a baking rack to cool completely before decorating- have fun!
