Yeah the recipe is wrong sponge was dense and preparation all wrong... better to cream sugar and butter first, add eggs one at a time, milk then dry ingredients. Should be a smooth batter. Milk quantity doesn't sound right either.

In all the edmonds books this recipe says 1 cup of flour. However on here it says 1 1/2. The sponge was tough but when made with just 1 cup flour as in book comes out lovely. I feel the 1 1/2 flour is perhaps a mis print.
