For the Cake

  • 2 cups Caster Sugar Regular granulated sugar works too

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Moist Custard Cake
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
  2. Gradually sift in the flour and custard powder into the mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake tin. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Let the cake cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Serve with a drizzle of lemon icing or fresh fruit on top for extra flavor.
