    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.
