Its simplicity itself....
weigh 2 eggs
weigh out the same amount in sugar, soft marge, and S/R Flour...
Cream tog the sugar and marge
Beat the eggs in one at a time...
Fold in the flour with a pinch of salt...
Divide among the cake cases and bake for around 10-12 mins...
Ice how you like... Delice and never fails.... depends on the size of the egg used how many cakes but the bigger the eggs the more cakes , hence I always use large ones...:rotfl: ENJOY#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

I'm the same as tanith.
I weigh my eggs and use equal amounts of everything else. I'm with the 10-15mins in the oven at 160/170.
Its just so simple and once you've made your own you will never go back to a packet mix.£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4.............................NCFC member No: 00005.........

We want to see a picture of the cakes and a very sticky happy child licking the spoon. :rotfl:
Notice I used the word child licking the spoon, not you.
Just though of some more advice:
Beat butter and sugar with a wooden spoon, beat in the eggs with a wooden spoon and stir in the flour with a metal spoon.£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4.............................NCFC member No: 00005.........
