    ay hello to our all-time favourite

    S simple vanilla cake recipe. A plain


    sponge cake is so easy to make and
    so delicious to eat, lending itself to
    all manner of delightful decorations, from a
    slick of jam between two sponges to elaborate
    swirls of buttercream. Top it with a dusting of
    icing sugar for a minimal look, edible flowers
    to celebrate the colours of the season or cut it
    in half (once cooled) and turn it into a
    Victoria sponge! Whatever you choose to do
    with it once it's out the oven, you'll never
    regret baking this simple pleasure.

    If you're looking for something a little


    di!erent, we have many cake recipes to try.
    We recommend moving on to our easy
    chocolate cake recipe if you're a fan of this
    cake.

    Ingredients

    175g (6oz) margarine or softened butter


    175g (6oz) caster sugar
    3 large eggs
    175g (6oz) self-raising flour, sifted
    1tsp baking powder
    1tsp vanilla extract
    pinch of salt

    Method

    1 Heat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 4).


    Lightly grease an 18cm (7in) round cake
    tin with a little extra butter or
    margarine and cut a piece of
    greaseproof paper or non-stick baking
    parchment to fit the base of the tin.

    2 Put all the ingredients into a large


    mixing bowl and beat with a wooden
    spoon or a hand-held mixer for 1
    minute, or until just combined. It's
    important not to beat the batter too
    much - just long enough to make it
    smooth.

    3 Pour or spoon the mixture into the tin,


    smooth the top and bake on the middle
    shelf of the oven for about 45-50
    minutes. The cake is cooked when it
    looks well risen and golden; the top
    should spring back when lightly
    touched with a fingertip. Another test is
    to insert a skewer into the centre of the
    cake - it should come out clean.

    4 Let the cake sit in the tin for 5 minutes,


    then gently run a knife around the edge
    and turn the cake out onto a wire rack
    to cool. Serve dusted with icing sugar.

    Tip
    If the idea of being able to bake sounds
    tempting but a little scary, this is the perfect
    cake for you. It's infinitely variable and
    incredibly easy to make. Simply place all the
    ingredients in a bowl and beat until
    combined. You can mix with a wooden spoon,
    a hand-held electric mixer or by using the
    pulse action of a food processor.

    Tip 2
    Using margarine rather than butter works
    really well for this cake and saves you the
    bother and time of having to soften the butter
    before you start. Don't be tempted to open
    the oven before 40 minutes - you'll regret it.
    Put the cake in an airtight container and it
    can be stored for up to 2 days.
