Ingredients

Sponge

  • 200 g Unsalted Butter
  • 200 g Caster Sugar
  • 4 Eggs
  • 200 g Self-Raising Flour
  • 50 ml Milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Icing

  • 200 g Icing Sugar
  • Hundreds and Thousands
  • Water drops

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 20 x 30cm cake tin and line with baking parchment.
  • Put the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat with a whisk until pale and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, flour, milk and vanilla and beat again until you have a smooth batter.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared tin, spread right to the corners and smooth the surface.
  • Bake for 40-45 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean, checking at 5 min intervals if it isn't ready after 45 mins. Leave the sponge to cool on a wire rack.
  • Mix the icing sugar with enough water to make a thick icing.
  • Spread the icing over the cooled cake, then top with lots of sprinkles. Leave for at least 1 hr to set. Cut into squares
