Ingredients
For the Cake:
200g granulated sugar
4 large eggs
200g unsalted butter, softened
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
For the Icing:
2-3 tbsp water or milk
Sprinkles (optional)
150g icing sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 30×23 cm traybake tin.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Sift the self-raising flour and baking powder into the mixture. Gently fold in until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until the batter is smooth.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and level the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Ice:
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Gradually add water or milk, a little at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.
Once the cake is cool, spread the icing evenly over the top and sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles.
Enjoy.
