Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line bases of two 20cm flat-based ring pans.

2. Using an electric beater, cream butter. Add sugar gradually and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Divide mixture between prepared pans.

3. Bake for 30 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes, before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips: For a chocolate version, replace 2/3 cup of self-raising flour with cocoa and add 1/2 cup extra caster sugar.
