Making this delicious wedding cake is easy. Follow these simple steps to create a cake to remember:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line two round 20cm cake tins.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift in the flour and fold it in gently.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the two tins and bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tins for 10 minutes. Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, place one cake on a serving plate. Spread with a layer of your favourite jam and top with the second cake.
