  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan, 375°F, gas mark 5). Prepare a 12 hole cake tin, use paper cases or butter the base and sides of the holes before filling with mixture.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 125g Butter (unsalted) softened
    • 125g Unrefined golden caster sugar
  3. 3

    Whisk in the beaten eggs, a little at a time, then beat in the vanilla.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 2 Egg(s) (free range) medium, lightly beaten
    • 1tsp Vanilla extract
  4. 4

    Sift in half of the flour and fold into the mixture. Add the milk and the rest of the flour and fold until well combined.

    • 125g Self-raising white flour
    • 2 tbsp Milk (whole)
