Cake

1. Rub a little butter around two 18cm/7” baking tins and pre-heat the oven.

3. Put the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl and beat together into a smooth emulsion.
4. Add the prepared flour mixture and beat again.
5. Immediately divide the mixture between the prepared tins and shake the tin so the mixture flows out to the edges.
