Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) and allow it to heat for 20 minutes before preparing the batter.
Grease two 20cm / 8” cake pans with butter, then line them with parchment or baking paper. It’s preferable to use cake pans without a loose base.

Notes

Make sure the baking powder is active for the best rise.
Using room temperature eggs helps with batter consistency and mixing.
Adjust the thickness of the icing by adding milk gradually.
