Indespensible plain cake recipe

    Here is the other indispensable recipe in my baking repertoire.

    Once again it is one recipe that makes many different cakes.

    This particular time, it was a banana cake, as our homegrown bananas got a bit ripe.

    Plain Cake.

    125grams of butter

    Good dash of vanilla

    1 cup sugar – whatever kind is in your cupboard.

    2 eggs

    1 ½ cups self raising flour

    ¾ cup milk

    I do it in one bowl by melting the butter, adding the vanilla and sugar, then the eggs, flour and milk.  Cook for about 30- 45mins at 180degrees. This recipe fills a small cake pan – If you have a large dish double it (these photos are a double batch.)

    Add

    Raspberries and white chocolate

    or

    Cocoa (2 tablespoons), chocolate and cherries

    or

    Apple and pecans

    Or

    Banana, cocoa and walnuts

    Or whatever takes your fancy 😊
