Ingredients

200g unsalted butter softened

200g caster sugar

3 eggs beaten

200g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

3 tbsp whole milk

1 tbsp vanilla paste / 1/2 vanilla pod seeds

125g icing sugar

1 tbsp vanilla paste / 1/2 vanilla pod seeds

Instructions

Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 900g loaf tin with parchment paper (mine was 19cm x 9cm x 6cm). Put all of the ingredients except those for the icing into a large bowl and beat together, either using an electric hand whisk or a wooden spoon until smooth and combined. Pour the mix into the loaf tin and spread evenly with the back of spoon. Bake for 40 – 45 mins.
Step 2
Once out of the oven, leave to cool and make the icing. Combine the icing sugar and vanilla paste with three tbsp of water – you may need more but add it gradually to get a thick icing. Spread it over the top of the cake; it’s fine if it drips down the edges. Allow to set and then slice.
