Unless you have american measuring cups I would borrow scales or a dry measure (Tala make one) which has different scales up the sides for flour, sugar etc.

Answer 7

the same way your nan did... by look and texture....

half a sieve of flour (add bicarb to plain flour to get it to rise)
a chunk of fat/margerine /butter
an egg
sugar to taste...

if the mix is too dry, add a splash of milk...

chuck it in one bowl, mix it all up, and put it in the oven, somewhere in the middle on medium heat for the time between adverts on teh TV...

its possible to make it in one set of adverts, and by the next your eating it.. i make biscuits... (just add raisins etc and squish em out to a flat shape)

Fruit Sponge Cake

·Prep Time 50 min.
·Cook Time 30 min.
·Serves 8

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1/3 cup granulated sugar
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1 pinch salt
2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 cup cake flour
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup currant jelly or strained apricot jam
2 cups assorted berries and sliced fruit, such as mango and kiwis

Cooking Directions
1.In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk the half-and-half, the 1/3 cup of sugar, the cornstarch and a pinch of salt until it comes to a boil. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks, then slowly whisk in half of the hot mixture. Pour the custard back into the pan and cook, whisking, until it comes to a boil. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 1 teaspoon of the vanilla. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2.Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-inch square cake pan, line it with wax paper, then butter the paper.

3.In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk, combine the 4 remaining yolks, the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla and the 3/4 cup of sugar. Beat on high speed until pale and thick, 3 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring the milk almost to a boil and, with the mixer at low speed, drizzle it into the yolk mixture. Mix in the flour until just blended. Transfer to a bowl and clean the mixer bowl and whisk.

4.Melt the butter until just warm. Place the 4 egg whites, cream of tartar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in the mixer bowl. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff but not dry, about 3 minutes. Fold one-third of the whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the remaining whites and the butter.

5.Scrape the batter into the prepared pan; bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes, then turn out and let cool completely.

6.With a serrated knife, divide the cake into 2 layers. Place a layer on a cake stand; top with the custard and then the other layer. Melt the jelly in a microwave and lightly brush over the cake. Arrange the fruit on the cake and brush with more jelly.
