simple easy sponge cake step by step

1. preheat oven 180c,or gas mark 4 1/2..
2. take butter and eggs out of fridge about an hour before baking..
3. mix sugar and butter until pale and creamy.add vanilla essense if you choose to add at this stage..in separate bowl beat eggs. gradually add eggs in to butter mixture beating constantly to prevent curdling.if you see any sign of curdling,add generous pinch of flour,it should help stopping mixture curdling..

7. after cooling cakes in their tins,take sponge out,decorate to your own liking...i simply added chocolate buttercream(mix 80g icing sugar,30g half melted butter,1 big teaspoonful of coco powder).
