Tea Cake

When I was young, my mother used to buy me tea cakes (very simple cakes, but tasty ones). I used to enjoy them a lot. Later on, these cakes were no longer available in bakeries. :(




Always I tried to search for the same taste in whatever sponge cakes I used to bake. But couldn't get that exact taste. Recently in a TV show, I saw this recipe and thought to give it a try, hoping that this cake would taste the same as I had tasted long back. Luckily, I could enjoy the same taste as my good old tea cakes.

This recipe is very simple and can be mixed up in a single bowl. This recipe can never go wrong. I used turmeric powder instead of yellow colour, which the recipe actually demanded. There is no change in the taste of the cake if you add turmeric powder. Moreover it is healthy too.

A perfect way to steal your kids heart :)

Ingredients

1 cup Self Raising flour (check for the substitute here.)
100 gms Butter
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
