I make my victoria sponge the same as the poster above, but when I make fairy cakes I use 4oz marg, 4oz sugar, 2 eggs and 6oz self raising flour and a half teaspoon baking powder and a teaspoon of vanilla essence.....shove it all in a large mixing bowl and whizz it with electric hand mixer till it reaches 'dropping consistency' and put dollops into cake cases...usually 15-18 and bake at 170C for about 12-15 mins...delicious!
