All-In-One Sponge Cake
- 3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, needs to be soft
- 1 cup caster sugar or 1 cup fine sugar
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups sifted self-raising flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325F if you know your oven is really hot).
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- When cold, sandwich them together with your favorite filling.
- Sprinkle caster or powdered sugar on the top.
