Really Simple Sponge Cake

Here is a recipe for a tasty sponge cake which is quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:
150g Butter (needs to be very soft, so not straight from the fridge)
150g Self raising flour
150g Castor sugar
1 tsp Baking powder
3 Medium eggs (beaten)

Method:
- Preheat oven to 190°C (gas mark 5) , reduce to 160°C for electric fan ovens.
- Place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat together until smooth (add a drop of milk if required to give a soft dropping consistency).
- Grease and line two 8" sandwich cake tins and spread half the mixture in to each. 
- Cook for 25-30 mins until golden brown and just firm to the touch.

Serving suggestion:
- When cool, fill the cake with a thin layer of smooth apricot jam and serve with squirty cream!
