add the butterfly into the bowl
250g soft butter, cut into pieces 2 tspn vanilla essence

turn speed down to 2 and add
4 eggs - ONE at a time
after each egg turn speed up to 4 for 5 seconds

Looks great - but we need a pickie out of the tin, with loads of sickly sweet icing too!
it's going to be a *insert roll of eyes here* barbie cake so i will definitely post an after pic :D
Sorry, what is SR flour? Thank you.
self raising flour :)
why the cake crack?
The butter should be unsalted or not?
Also can we have the recipe for the icing on top?
