Chris's Basic Cake


This recipe was given to me by a friend who ran a cafe in a near by town, with her husband. There are 3 out standing features of this recipe. Firstly, the simplicity of the process and ingredients, and secondly the end result-- a good size (not too large), a good flavor and thirdly the versatility. You can add anything, chocolate, banana, lemon, orange, sultanas,nuts. What ever!!!!

150g butter, softened
150g caster sugar
3 eggs
2 cups SR flour
