Ingredients

225g caster sugar

225g softened butter

225g self-raising flour, sieved

4 medium eggs

1tsp vanilla extract

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line your tin. The size of the tin will vary depending on what recipe you are using.

Beat all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand-whisk for 3-4 mins. Spoon into the tin, level the surface and bake for 1 hr – 1hr 20 mins, depending on the tin size. To test, a metal skewer inserted into the centre of the sponge should come out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before decorating.
