All you need to do is add 200g softened butter to 200g caster sugar and whisk it together.
Next you need to add four large eggs and 200g self-raising flour.
Once everything is mixed and combined, it should have the consistency of being able to drop off a spoon.

There is also an option to add three tbsp of milk and a few drops of vanilla extract at this stage too.
Then you can transfer the batter to a greased oven dish.
If you have an air fryer, you should pop the dish in for 30-35 min at 150C - but if you are doing it in a normal oven it should be at 170C.
Once it is baked and cooled, you can add melted icing sugar to the top and then sprinkles and voila - you are good to tuck in.

Rise of the air fryer
Air fryers have maintained their spot as the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year.
Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens.
The retailer said: 'In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times.
'However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.'
The only other products that 'shaped the year' were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, as households bought gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.

Esparto local Bryan Sandoval told the Sacramento Bee: 'All we felt was everything shake.' He and his family evacuated immediately as smoke and fireworks lit up the sky. Footage from the scene shows white smoke billowing from the roof of the warehouse before it is engulfed by a fireball in a violent explosion. Fireworks burst midair above the wreckage, crackling and exploding as if part of a chaotic, unplanned display. A massive column of smoke soared up to 15,000 feet, visible for miles around. Videos also captured the terrifying sight of rogue fireworks firing in every direction, igniting spot fires in dry grass and fields around the warehouse. The flames quickly spread across an estimated 80 acres of surrounding land, threatening nearby highways and farmland.
