Easy butter cakes




I had no desert the other day so thought I might try to bake something. I had no shop cake mix so found the following recipe via google. The result was some lovely cakes I have been taking to work for morning tea.

Ingredients.

2 cups self raising flour
1 cup sugar (I use about 2/3 as I don't like it to sweet)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
2/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter melted. (about 100gms)

In a mixing bowl put in the dry ingredients and form a hole in the middle. Crack in the eggs then add the other ingredients. Mix well for a few minutes, you can use an electric mixer but I just use a wooden spoon. When the batter is well mixed and smooth pour into greased cake tins and bake at about 180 deg for about 20 minutes or until cooked.

The simple recipe makes a good base for other type of cakes. I added some blueberries and they were delicious.
