Victoria Sponge Cake Mix

4oz SR flour
4oz Sugar
4oz margarine, or butter (margarine actually creams better, butter tastes nicer)
2 Eggs (oddly weighing about 4oz)
1tsp baking powder

This is the most versatile mixture ever, and the simplest to remember (4oz of everything, or 2oz for a 1/2 batch). With this you can make:

Fairy cakes/cup cakes
Victoria Sandwich
Steamed puddings (in the microwave- cook for 2 minutes)

replace 1/2 oz flour with cocoa for a chocolate version
Add 1 oz dessicated coconut for a coconut version
Add fruit, nuts, ginger, coffee powder, vanilla etc for other flavours.
