Instructions
Cake
- Beat butter and sugar till white.
- Beat eggs, then beat with butter and sugar mixture.
- Add milk and vanilla essence.
- Sift the flour and baking powder and mix in quickly and lightly, not beating.
- Divide mixture into three parts. Leave one plain. Mix cocoa into one. And colour the other part.
- Cook each part separately in a hot oven for 12 minutes. I've used a ring tin. If using a round tin, you may need to cook a little longer.
- When cold, join parts with jam, ice and decorate.
