Simple recipe for a cake.?!
Answers: My daughter wants to bake a cake tonight but I don't have any good simple recipes for cake. Can someone supply me w/one?
Here's a very simple white cake - make as a cake or cupcakes. Also, if white is too boring - add a few drops of any food coloring to the batter to make whatever color your daughter chooses. Have fun!
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 2 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 cup milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.

Basic Victoria sponge mix
4 oz sugar,
4oz butter
2 eggs
4 oz Self Raising flour sifted
Heat oven to 180oC, 350oF, Gas Mark 4. Grease an 18 cm (7 inch) sandwich tins
Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add one of the eggs and beat in, adding a little of the flour. Add the other egg and mix until well combined. Then FOLD in the rest of the flour.
You can replace an ounce of the flour with an ounce of cocoa powder for a chocolate cake. Place in prepared tins and bake for 20-25 minutes in 2 tins or 40-45 minutes in one tin.
TIP I always put a little water in an oven proof dish in the oven as it keeps the cake lovely and moist.
Hope you and your little one enjoy it!
