Butter (softened) 1/2 cup
Caster sugar 1 cup
Eggs 2
Vanilla essence-1/2 tsp
Flour 1-3/4 cups
Baking powder 2 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
Milk 1/2 cup

Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Grease and flour a 9 inch round pan. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too stiff, a tablespoon or two of milk may be added. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack, and then turn out onto a serving plate. Dust with icing sugar right before serving.
