Procedure (detailed)[edit]
Preparation[edit]
You will need these things:

The ingredients. (Salt not shown here)

Cooking implements: beaters, large bowl, cup measurement and large cake tin. Scales optional.

An oven, of course!

Method[edit]

1. Preheat your oven.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together.

3. Crack the eggs in, and beat them in too

After beating in the eggs, it looks like this

4. Now get your flour and milk

5. Mix a little bit of flour in it.

6. Then a little bit of milk.

Repeat 5 and 6 until done. By now the mixture will be very smooth.

7. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured cake tin, then pop it in the oven

8. Checking if the cake is "done": put a sharp knife or skewer into the centre of the cake

If the knife is dirty - the mixture is still wet - put it back in! (This was after about 15 minutes, it takes a lot longer)

Finally, it's done! Notice how brown the top is, due to the high sugar content
