Answer 1

i suggest this recipe, but add as much chocolate chips as you feel necessary just before putting in the pan, and stir in using a wooden spoon (if you use beaters, it might flick everywhere :P)

BUTTER CAKE

Ingredients (serves 6)

125g butter, softened

1/2 cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/4 cups self-raising flour, sifted

1/4 cup buttermilk or milk

2 teaspoons boiling water

pure icing sugar, to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 20cm (base) round cake pan with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl on medium-high speed until pale and creamy (see note).

Add eggs in 2 batches, scraping down the sides of bowl and beating well between additions (if egg is added too quickly batter may curdle, causing a coarse, heavy, dry-textured cake).

Transfer mixture to a larger bowl (to allow room to combine remaining ingredients without overmixing). Add half the flour and stir gently to combine. Add half the buttermilk and stir until combined (adding half the flour and milk together can cause a lumpy batter). Repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk. Fold in boiling water.

Spread mixture into prepared pan. Smooth surface. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand cake in pan for 10 minutes to firm slightly and shrink a little, so cake won't split when turned out. Turn onto a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar. Serve.

Notes & tips

Note: Beating in a medium-sized bowl allows maximum air to be incorporated into the mixture.

throw a couple of desert spoons of

butter in a bowl  a couple of  spoons  of  sugar in too .

beat till it  turns  white  

beat in a couple of eggs .

fold in   a  couple of spoons  of  flour

from this   you can go on   and  add whatever  you  like .

fruit  choc chips .

  pinapple  upside cake .

.

the best short  pastry is also made in this way

  the more butter  you add the shorter  or more  crumbly  or biscuitty it  gets .

i  stopped  weighing  20 years  ago .

  oh  by  the  way   if  you  want  to  know  in    ozs  .

easy  .

16 oz is a pound

16 fl oz is a pint

a kilo is 2.2 lbs

or 1000 grams .

so it follows  1 pound  around 500 gms

half pound       250 grams .

it  also follows  1 pint 500 milli litres

  trying to  simply  explain  us oldens  got  lost   a long  time  aago .
