Irish Tea Cake
Report
Irish Tea Cake, a scrumptious vanilla sponge cake that is buttery, but light and fluffy, and dusted with icing sugar for sweet touch. It's incredibly easy to make with just a handful of easy-to-find ingredients, and it can be served throughout the year, and particularly on St Patrick's Day.

Ingredients
- 200 g self-raising flour
- 120 g butter soften
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 125 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar ( for dusting the cake)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Add the butter and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to cream them together.
- Add the eggs one by one beating well after every addition.
- Sift in the flour, add the milk and vanilla extract, and use a spatula to mix everything together until you get a smooth batter.
- Grease and flour a 23 cm/ 9 inch round cake tin and spread the batter evenly.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and leave it to cool completely.
- Dust with icing sugar.
Notes
- As with any other sponge that requires creaming the butter and sugar together, it is crucial to have the butter soften, but not melted. A cold butter will be very hard to beat and will change the consistency of the sponge.
- Measure the ingredients well, as the amounts used with make the difference between a well risen sponge and a though dense one. Also, preheating the oven helps get a good rise quickly, so make sure to turn the oven on at least 15 minutes before the cake goes in.
