I make a very simple one LG 4oz each of butter, sugar and self-raising flour, 2 medium sized eggs Cream butter and sugar until pale and smooth, add beaten eggs a bit at a time. Then fold in the sieved flour until the mixture drops off the spatula. If it seems a bit thick add some milk. Divide into sandwich tins and bake on middle shelf of oven at Gas 4 (sorry don't know electric equivalent) for about 20 - 25 mins (you know when its done  Allow to cool and spread one half with jam and I usually make buttercream for the other, then slap em together and dust with icing sugar (if you can be bothered) If you want a bigger one use 6oz of everything and 3 eggs  x Tig |

I have a Marco Pierrre White mixer which is great. I will see if I can get time to make one over the next day or 2. I had intended making it before Jenny arrived yesterday evening but another friend called to visit and I did'nt get a chance.
