Here was a basic sponge cake that was used as the start of a Birthday Cake with home-made icing (That recipe is coming after this)..
This cake was also used for a base for strawberry shortcake which was filled with whipped cream and luscious strawberries.
Another easy and quick topping was to..mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle the top a few minutes before taking it from the oven.
It is an all around use cake and is delicious just by itself!
2 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 2/3 cups Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Sweet Cream
Beat Eggs until thick and lemon-coloured. Then beat in sugar gradually (use a hand mixer or standard bowl mixer) and beat well. Then blend in vanilla.
Sift flour once before measuring. Then sift flour, baking powder and salt together, and stir into egg mixture alternately with the cream. Pour into 2 well greased and floured layer cake pans.
