NOTES

• This cake recipe will work well for a 6inch round cake, baked for about 45 to 50 minutes.
• You can also use this cake as a base for fondant and buttercream cakes.
• Self-rising flour already has leavening agent added to it. So i did not add baking powder to the recipe.
• If you do not have self-rising flour, just combine 1 cup all purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt and mix well.
