My mum's sponge cake

My parents are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this year, and if you ask my dad (and hopefully my husband) what are the ingredients of a happy marriage, I am sure good cooking is right up there.  Mum is rightfully proud of her sponge cake making ability, every Friday was baking day and as a young girl I would race home from school to sample her home cooked delights.

Ingredients

4 large eggs organic is best at room temperature
1 cup caster sugar
A pinch of salt
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup custard powder
1 teaspoon bi carb soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon butter melted with 3 tablespoon milk


Method

Beat eggs, sugar and salt until thick and creamy.
Add sifted flour, custard powder, cream of tartar and bi carb soda.
Fold in heated milk and butter.
Pour into 2 greased tins and bake in moderate oven (180 degrees c) for 20-25 minutes.

Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad
