I had a craving for cake this Sunday and decided to look up as I couldn’t remember the standard mix for Victorian or simple sponge cake. I’ve made these types of cakes since I can remember but I’ve never quite had the perfect fluffy recipe that other people seem to achieve. This time however I think I got lucky trying to make a recipe fit the quantities I had and the cakes were ridiculously fluffy so I will share with you what I did.
Ingredients:
200g self raising flour
200g caster sugar
3 medium free range eggs
1tsp of baking powder
200g melted butter
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven 180 degrees c
- Put your put in a bowl after measuring and put in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until softened
- Put everything else in a bowl
- Add the butter
- Grab an electric hand whisk. Mine is an old fashioned one so not particularly fast
- Whisk everything together for 3 minutes until the whole mixture goes white
- Spoon into either a greased cat tin or cup cake cases
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown
- Decorate or fill however you see fit
