This cake is delicious and pretty much a winner with everyone. Serve it with some thickened cream mmmmmm.
I love making these into little cupcakes - cook for about 20 minutes instead and turn the oven down to 170C
Orange: Instad of vanilla add rind of 2 oranges and juice of 1 orange - you may
need a little extra flour if mixture is too wet
Lemon: You could also make it a lemon and poppy seed cake as another alternative
