    Simple vanilla sponge

    OK probably don't need to add this bog standard recipe, but it's here for convenience. It's a simple tray bake, but fits our trays....

    
    275g self raising flour
    225g soft butter
    4 tbsp milk
    1 tsp baking powder
    225g caster sugar
    1 tsp vanilla bean paste
    4 eggs
    
    

    Sift the flour into a bowl, add everything else and beat the whole lot together well. Pour into a well buttered tray, even out the mixture and cook in a pre-heated 180 deg fan oven for 40-45 mins. Can be done in two sponge tins too - glue together with soft vanilla buttercream icing and sliced strawberries.
