This is one of my favourite recipes of all time...mostly because it is SOOO easy! Even someone like me, who loves to bake, also loves easy recipes sometimes. The lovely thing with this recipe is that it can be made in one bowl! All the ingredients are poured into a bowl and mixed...it's that simple!
The other great thing with this recipe is that it can easily be made chocolate or vanilla...just by substituting some of the flour for cocoa.
I found this recipe years ago in my mom's tried and tested recipe box and it's stuck with me since. The amount of times it's been baked in our house and the memories that it brings are endless. Some of those best memories have been with my sisters, late at night, mixing the batter and then eating it...yup, you read right, we ate the batter…and still do ;-) ! It is DELICIOUS!
One more great thing with this recipe is that it can easily be made cupcakes or it can just as easily be a cake. And just about any frosting works with them.

One secret...make sure not to leave them in the oven for too long...otherwise they will get too dry.
