Ingredients:

  • 1  1/2 cup self raising flour
  • 2/3 cup castor sugar
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup milk.

Firstly, make sure the butter is definitely softened – otherwise the mixture ends up lumpy.

Put all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed until combined, then on medium speed until batter is smooth.
