Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

  9. Sprinkle the top of the cake with 2 tbsp of granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
