Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- ½ cup caster sugar

Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 175C fan-forced and grease and line a loaf tin so that the paper extends over the sides.
- In the bowl, beat the butter and sugar until soft and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat until mixed through.
- Add 1/2 of the flour then 1/2 of the milk and continue adding and mixing like this until the batter is smooth.
- Spread the batter into the tin and bake for 30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Quickly turn the cake onto a wire rack right-side-up and spread it with butter. (The heat of the cake will melt the butter).
