Sponge

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

Serves: 6 or more

Ingredients

  • ½ A teaspoon of baking powder
  • 110g Butter (softened/room temperature) - I use salted for extra flavour
  • 110g Caster Sugar
  • Two eggs
  • 110g Self raising floor

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C
  • Break the two eggs into a large mixing bowl
  • Add the 110g butter, 110g caster sugar, 110g self raising flour and ½ a teaspoon of baking powder
  • Mix together (ideally with an electric whisk but a wooden spoon is fine if need be) until everything is blended together and no more
  • Add the mixture to a cake tin or other suitable container and smooth the surface if necessary
  • Bake on the middle shelf of your oven for 25 minutes - the sponge should be golden brown and springy to the touch when done
