Answer 1

Delia (Smith) uses:

6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour
1 rounded teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs at room temperature
6 oz (175 g) very soft butter
6 oz (175 g) golden caster sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Answer 2

You have too much sugar & butter for the amount of flour. A better proportion would be 225 gr flour, 175 gr. sugar, 175 gr butter, 3 eggs. Don't forget baking powder (2 teasp for this amount of flour) & milk & vanilla essence. As a child starting to bake cakes I was told '6, 4, 4, 2.' ie 6 ozs flour, 4 ozs sugar, 4 ozs butter & 2 eggs. If you search for madera cake recipes on the Internet you will find several. Enjoy your baking!

Are you making a loaf cake?

This is what Nigella uses in hers:

225g soft butter
225g caster sugar
4 large eggs
1tsp vanilla extract
200g self-raising flour
25g cornflour
3-4 tbsp milk

Answer 4

I'd say maybe only 1 egg and 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder if using plain flour

Answer 5

1 cup butter or margarine (2 sticks)
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

6ozs of caster sugar
6ozs of S.R flour
6ozs of marg or butter
3 eggs

You need some baking powder, or baking soda, and salt, and vanilla. Baking needs correct porportions or it will not rise.
