INGREDIENTS

·         450g (3 cups) self-raising flour

·         150g (1 cup) plain flour

·         440g (2 cups) caster sugar

·         6 eggs, at room temperature

·         300g butter, cubed, at room temperature

·         310ml (1 1/4 cups) milk          

·         3 teaspoons vanilla essence

·         Melted butter, to grease

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Preheat oven to 140°C. Position a rack on the second lowest shelf of the oven.

2. Place the self-raising flour, plain flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk and vanilla essence in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric beater to beat on low speed for 30 seconds or until just combined. Increase the speed to high and beat for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is thick and all the butter is incorporated.

3.  Brush a round 25cm (base measurement) cake pan with the melted butter to lightly grease (see Notes tab for instructions for other tin sizes). Line base and sides with non-stick baking paper. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.

4.   Bake in preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack for 2 hours or until completely cool.
