sandcake

Ingredients

1 cup (150g) self-raising flour
1 tablespoon cornflour
3/4 cup (180g) caster sugar
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
125g butter, softened
2 eggs
Lemon icing (optional)
60g butter, softened
2 lemons, rind finely grated
2 cups icing sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice




Method

Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a greased 9cm x 21cm (base measurement) loaf pan with non-stick baking paper.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Using electric beaters, beat for 6 minutes until pale and creamy. Spread evenly into the loaf pan. Cook for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Stand for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.

To make the icing, place the butter and lemon rind in a small bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon until well combined. Gradually add the icing sugar and lemon juice, mixing until well combined. Spread over the top of the cold cake.


Dreamcake

Beat eggs and sugar light and fluffy. Mix flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar together. Turn it gently into the dough sprinkled through a sieve. Heat milk and butter (little finger hot) and toss it gently into batter. Pour batter into a small baking pan lined with wax paper (about 5 x 22 x 30 cm) and bake cake in center of oven.

Filling: Come butter, coconut, brown sugar and milk in a heavy-based saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring. Take the cake out and crank up the oven. Spread the filling over the cake and bake it up, still in the middle of the oven.

Tip: You can whip eggs and sugar light and fluffy over bath - be careful that it does not get too hot - then coagulate the eggs.
