Answer 2

Great question! I love cooking. Here's a recipe for a spongecake, if that's what you're looking for.

4 oz self raising flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
4 oz quality, soft margarine at room temperature
4 oz caster sugar
2 large eggs
2-3 drops vanilla essence


To finish:

Icing/confectioners' sugar, jam

Two 7 in cake tins, at least 1.5 in deep, greased and bases lined with greaseproof or waxed paper.

Preheat the oven to 325 deg F.

Sift the baking powder and flour into a large mixing bowl. Make sure the margarine is soft and simply add all the other ingredients to the bowl and beat them well until everything is thoroughly mixed together. An electric mixer will give good results. The mixture should just drop from a wooden spoon when tapped on the side of the bowl, so if needed mix in 1-2 teaspoons of warm water to get the right consistency.

Divide the mixture between the lined and greased tins and place on the centre shelf of the preheated oven for about thirty minutes. When cooked, the top of the sponge should be golden and springy to the touch.

When cooked, allow to cool for about a minute. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn the sponges out onto a wire rack to cool. Carefully remove the lining paper and when completely cool spread your favourite jam on the sponge and sandwich together. To finish, dust the top with icing/confectioners' sugar if you like.
