Instructions

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar. Beat them together using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy — this step incorporates air into the batter, helping the cake rise beautifully.

Step 2: Add the Eggs

  1. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually add them to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. The batter should look smooth and creamy. If it begins to curdle, mix in a tablespoon of flour to bring it back together.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

  1. Gently sift the self-raising flour into the bowl. Using a low-speed setting on your mixer or a spatula, fold the flour in until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — this keeps your sponge light and airy.

Step 4: Add Flavor and Milk

  1. Stir in the vanilla essence and milk. Mix until the batter is smooth, with no visible lumps of flour. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
