Classic wedding cake

Ingredients

  • SPONGE CAKE

  • 150g butter
  • 300ml milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 400g castor sugar
  • 300g cake flour
  • 10ml (2 tsp) baking powder

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2

Melt the butter and milk in a saucepan and leave to cool.

3

Beat the eggs and castor sugar in a mixer with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy or until the mixture reaches the ribbon stage.

4

Sift the flour and baking powder, and fold in the flour and milk mixture alternatively with the egg mixture. 5 Pour the mixture into a lined cake tin and bake in the preheated oven until risen and golden. To test if cooked, prick with a skewer – it is done when the skewer inserted through the middle comes out clean.

For the 15cm and 22cm cakes: Use this mixture x 1 for 1 x 15cm and 2 x 22cm layers (three layers in total) and repeat 3 times so that you have 3 x 15cm layers of cake and 6 x 22cm layers of cake. For the 30cm tin: Use this mixture x 1 to get 1 x 30cm layer and repeat 3 times so that you have 3 layers of 30cm sponge
