I made this cake earlier in the week, I always make cake. Surprisingly Isabel likes it, I didn't put any icing on it, and that's usually all she eats of a piece of cake. But she ate the lot. I put caster sugar on it and poured orange juice over the top when it was still hot.
Grandmas Delicate Cake
1 cup sugar
125 gr butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups SR Flour
1/2 cup milk
Cream butter and sugar.
Add eggs, then flour alternately with milk.
Bake in a moderate oven for approx. 40 mins.
Your own flavourings may be added eg- orange juice instead of milk, or 2 Tblsp cocoa after leaving out 2 Tblsp of flour.
A nice topping for plain cake -sprinkle while hot with castor sugar and squeeze over lemon juice or top with cinnamon and sugar.
Yum. This looks lovely and simple. My kind of recipe. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to sharing my garden photos with you soon :)
ReplyDeleteI like simple cakes, I don't have time to make extravagant cakes especially when Isabel wants to get in and help. It would great to host your garden photos.
