🧂 Ingredients

1½ cup self-raising flour sifted

200g
130 g butter at room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup caster sugar

90g
2 eggs

large
1/3 cup full cream milk

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 170°C-175°C. Grease and line a 20cm (8 inch) round cake pan with
baking or parchment paper.
2 In a glass bowl, cream butter and vanilla with an electric mixer (approximately
two to three minutes).
3 Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
4 Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
5 Add half the sifted flour and half the milk and stir in lightly to combine. Add
the remaining flour and milk. Stir to combine and then beat on a low speed until
the cake batter is creamy and smooth. Do not over mix the batter.
6 Spread batter into the prepared cake pan and gently smooth the top. Bake for
35-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out
clean. Stand the cake in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and place on
wire rack until completely cool.
7 Serve it plain, or with a dusting of icing sugar or decorate with icing of your
choice.
