This is frugal/time saving recipe that i use for all the cakes/puddings below , It's a one stage recipe
I am old school and use pounds and ounces,
6 oz butter , this must be at room temperature and the consistency of really soft margarine ( which i never use in any of my baking it's always butter for the best taste)
If it's not very soft use the defrost setting on a microwave until it is.
6 oz sugar,
8oz SR flour.
3 large eggs.
1 1/2 tsp baking powder.
3 tbsp milk
vanilla essence.
put it all together in a mixer or hand held mixer and mix until its a dropping consistency. I bake it on gas 4 in the centre of the oven until it's cooked.
Add tinned/fresh fruit , top with a quick jell
Add Apples and cinnamon to make dorset Apple cake.
Add fruit or jam to make baked puddings.
line a pastry case with jam then top with sponge , Ice when cooled , My take on bakewell tart without the almonds
Lemon drizzle cake.
Butterfly buns
