Instructions

Using a hand-held electric whisk or a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully combined.

Sift the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into a separate bowl and mix together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until fully combined. Finally, stir in the milk to make a smooth cake batter.

Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin, and level the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, before turning out and cooling completely on a wire rack.
