Genoise Cake

1/2 quantity will do 8 inch round pan, but you can double triple etc. the recipe (Not from the US, so do't understand the cups of batter per pan way - sorry)

6oz/170 g Butter
6oz/170g Caster Sugar
3 Eggs Beaten lighty
6oz/170g Self-Raising Flour

Cream Butter, add sugar until light & fluffy, add egg little at time & fold in flour.

I also normally add 1 tsp vanilla essence too.

Bake 190degress/375F or Gas 5 20-25 mins

Works everytime. For Carving let it cool, refidgerate & carve next day
