Ingredients

14 oz Butter Make sure it is not too hard
14 oz Caster Sugar
7 medium Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
16 oz Self Raising Flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160C and line your cake tin (timings have been given for 2 cakes cooked after each other)
Using a mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until pale and fluffy
Whisk the eggs and add the vanilla to them. Whilst mixing on a medium speed, add the eggs, one at a time until blended
Slow the mixer right down and add the flour gradually. Stop as soon as all added and fold together until just combined
Bake each cake for approx 45-48 minutes until a skewer comes out clean
Leave to cool and stack upside down to get a flat top

Notes

I have given the cooking time for both cakes to be baked after each other, as most people may not have 2 ovens or 2 x 7" round tins. If you have 2 tins, then both cakes can be baked at the same time but will take at least 55 minutes. Again, test to see if both cakes are fully baked by inserting a skewer (sterilised knitting needle) and it should come out clear.
