Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the loaf tin with baking paper. • Measure 200g butter and set aside at room temperature to soften. Measure 200g of caster sugar.

2

• In a large bowl, add caster sugar and the softened butter. Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. • Add the eggs and beat until smooth, 1-2 minutes. • Using a spoon, fold in basic sponge mix and the milk until just combined. TIP: Softened butter is easier to beat and helps your cake have a light texture!

3

• Pour cake batter into the lined loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside to cool completely in the tin. TIP: To check if the cake is done, stick a toothpick or skewer in the centre. It should come out clean.

4

• Slice the cake to serve. Enjoy! TIP: Serve the cake with your topping of choice.
