Ingredients

For the traybake cake

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.

  2. Grease a 30x20cm/12x8in rectangular cake tin with butter. Line the tin with baking paper.

  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric whisk until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until the egg is completely incorporated into the batter before adding the next. Add a tablespoon of flour if the mixture curdles.

  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the flour using a large metal spoon, stirring until no traces of flour are visible. Gently stir in the milk to loosen the mixture.

  5. Spoon into the prepared cake tin, spreading evenly with a spatula. Make a slight dip in the centre with the tip of the spatula.

  6. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when the centre is pressed gently with a finger. Remove from the oven and take the cake out of the tin after 10 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.

L.R. Knost



"Here's to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world. 

They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. 

They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. 

Look for them in this present darkness.

Light your candle with their flame. And then go. 

Build bridges. Hold hands. 

Bring light to a dark and desperate world. 

Be the hero you are looking for. 

Peace is possible. 

It begins with us."

L.R. Knost
