  1. Heat the oven to 180C°/350°F/160°F/Gas 4 and grease a small cake tin – a 20cm sandwich tin would be fine
  2. Place the butter in a mixing bowl and stir until soft then add the sugar and mix until creamy.
  3. Add gradually the beaten eggs, milk  and the sifted flour. Make sure you mix them together well.
  4. Put the mixture into the greased cake tin and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and springy in the middle.
