This summer I have been to India for holidays to my grandparents place. I wanted to bake a cake myself for them. I thought a simple sponge cake would be ideal. It really turned out to be a good one and even my new friends in India liked them. Here’s how I made it!

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Ask an adult to do this.
2. Grease a 7 in round tin with butter and line it with grease-proof paper.
3. Sift 175g of self raising flour in a bowl.
4. Add 175g sugar, 3 eggs, 175g of butter, pinch o salt and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
5. Beat all these ingredients in a food processor until they are thoroughly mixed.
6. Pour this mixture into the round tin.
7. Ask an adult to put this tin in the oven and bake it for 30-40 min.
8. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it sit until it cools down.
9. Remove it from the tin after it cools down and serve.

Tips:

1. This cake can be served with chocolate glaze or icing, icing sugar or just jam.
2. One can add some raisins, chocolate bits, desiccated coconut or orange zest to it to add a different flavour to it.
