In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and add it to the butter and sugar mixture. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until everything is well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before turning it out onto a serving plate.
