Marion's cake

b]Marion’s Cake[/b]

Ingredients
100 grams butter
230 grams SR flour
150 grams caster sugar
2 eggs
½ teaspoon of vanilla essence
100 grams milk

Method
Place butter into TM bowl and set to 70˙ speed 1 for 40 seconds
Add sugar and cream on speed 5 for 6 seconds
Add all other ingredients and mix on speed 6 for 10 seconds.
Pour into a greased and lined (base only) 23cm cake tin. Bake at 180˙ for 45 to 50 mins or until skewer comes out clean.

Ice with plain icing then sprinkle any flavour (or a few different flavours), of jelly crystals on top.

This is a really nice and very simple cake.
You can make it chocolate by adding 2 tablespoons of cocoa with the flour or banana by adding two chopped bananas when you add the sugar and ½ teaspoon carb soda with the flour.
For an easy dessert add a 400gram tin of well drained fruit-salad and use the juice in a custard to go over it.

This recipe is an adaption of one from a friend years ago when I was nursing. It has travelled well through the years and has had many adaptions. It's very simple and can be made for either cup cakes or in a cake tin.
I hope you get as much use from it as I have.
