always you this method never fails,
.weigh 3 eggs, & what ever they weigh the same amount for each of the following.
s/r flour
caster sugar
soft marg or butter
then I beat all ingredients together with a electric handmixer. you can adjust amount of eggs accordingly.
bake for about 20 mins in fan oven170

i use the same recipe as lotty but often replace an ounce of the flour with custard powder for a richer colour and a bit of flavour :-)
