Easy
Whatever this is it most definitely isn't a Victoria Sponge Cake! Far too much butter and shouldn't need any milk. For an easy All-in-one recipe, weigh your eggs then add the equivalent of self raising flour, soft margarine and sugar (not icing sugar!) plus half to one teaspoon of baking powder, depending on whether you are using 2 eggs or 4. Bake at 180c or 160c fan for about 25-30 mins. Test for 'springiness' by touching the top, when it will be done.

Easy
the quantity of butter was wrongly written, it was too oily/buttery, to the extent that bubbles were appearing...

Oven temp was too hot, the top started to burn whilst the mixture was still liquid. It sunk when out the oven and was flat but it does taste great. Made for a birthday and was fine. Iced with butter icing and topped with smarties.

After searching through several sites for a sponge recipe, I am so happy that I chose this one. Many compliments, and it had a perfect texture and flavour. Highly recommended.
