Fairly simple sponge mix.
125g self-raising flour
125g butter
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of milk.

Cream the butter and sugar together, add one egg and a spoon of flour and mix together, add your second egg and another spoon of flour and combine. At this point you can add any flavourings you want, I always use a bit of Vanilla extract but you could use lemon/orange zest and juice, etc.

Sift in the rest of the flour and beat together gently, add the spoons of milk to loosen the mixture and then split between 2 cake tins (for a thin sponge, ideal for trifles or more dainty sandwich sponges.) or use one tin for a thicker sponge, I've even doubled the mixture and split into 2 for a massive cake. Bake in the oven.

Best sponge ever. Nice yellow colour to the sponge (good eggs help this), amazing texture and it develops a nice sort-of crust. You can use it for cupcakes too. I've added white choc chips, lemon curd and icing, cocoa powder, jam, dust with icing sugar etc. Easiest thing ever yet makes you seem like a pro baker. Keeps my little one happy and earns me bonus points with the ladies I work with.
