Tea Cake recipe
175 grams of butter
175 grams of sugar
3 large eggs
175 grams of self-raising flour
1 tablespoon of powder
1 tablespoon of vanilla extra
a pinch of salt
Step 1:
Lightly grease a round, tin bowl with a little extra butter.
Step 2:
Put all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until just combined. It's important not to beat the batter too much - Just long enough to make it smooth.
Step 3:
Pour the mixture into the tin, smooth the top and bake in the oven for about 45-50 minutes. The cake is done when it looks well risen and golden; the top should spring back when lightly touched with a fingertip.
Step 4:
Let the cake sit in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edge and leave it out to cool.
Additional notes from Rani:
Based on the tea you serve, you should lower/increase the amount of sugar you put in the cake.
Lots of love and have fun baking.
