This simple sponge cake is delicious on its own but can easily be flavored with vanilla or lemon, and just as easily be turned into a Victoria sponge or used as the base for a cake. To make a Victoria sponge simply slice the cake in half, so you have a top and bottom, and fill it with any jam that you like and let stand for a while so that the jam can soak in a bit.
200g butter or margarine, room temperature
2dl flour
2dl sugar
4 eggs
1tsp baking powder
Place all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Beat everything together using an electric whisk until creamy.
Pour into a greased or non-stick cake tin.
Bake in the oven at 180ºC for 15-25min until it is a light golden brown.
Let it cool off on a wire rack.
Serve slices of it plain with tea or coffee or with some fresh berries and whipped cream.
Enjoy!
