Love this recipe and so easy

I tried this recipe to compare with the old Queen cake recipe I’ve used for years. What a huge taste difference. This recipe produced light and very tasty little cakes. I dusted them with icing sugar when cooled, So pleased I tried this version.

These are quick & easy to make. I always make a gluten free version & substitute the milk with almond milk. On the odd occasion i will sometimes substitute the vanilla essence for almond essence. Brings back memories of raiding my Grandmother's cake tin when she wasn't looking. She'd make them regularly along with rock cakes. They too, are another favorite.
