The classic fairy cake. A light vanilla sponge that's simple to make and delicious to eat.
Ingredients
- 110g softened unsalted butter
- 110g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 110g self-raising flour
- 2 free-range eggs
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- 110g softened unsalted butter
- 110g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 110g self-raising flour
- 2 free-range eggs
- 1-2 tbsp milk
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
Cream together your butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Crack the eggs in one at a time, beating in between. Don’t worry if your mixture looks a little curdled, the flour will bring it back together.
Sift in the flour and fold using a spatula or large metal spoon, to avoid knocking out too much air.
Loosen the mixture to a dropping consistency with a little milk.
Line a cupcake tray with 12 cases and divide the mixture between. Bake for 8-10minutes until puffed up and golden.
Leave to cool before decorating and enjoy!
