All-In-One Sponge Cake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter or margarine, needs to be soft
• 1 cup caster sugar or fine sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups sifted self-raising flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325F if you know your oven is really hot).

2. 2

   Measure out all the ingredients, put in to a large bowl and beat until well blended (I use an electric mixer but you can do this by hand).

3. 3

   Divide this between the two tins; level out and bake in the oven for approx 30-35 minutes, until well risen and the top of the sponges spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.

4. 4

   Leave them to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before you turn them out; remove the paper and let them completely cool on a cake rack.

5. 5

   When cold, sandwich them together with your favorite filling.

6. 6

   Sprinkle caster or powdered sugar on the top.
