Step-by-Step Instructions for Moist Custard Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease your cake tin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine self-raising flour, custard powder, and caster sugar. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  3. In another bowl, beat room temperature butter and eggs until light and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and eggs, along with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased cake tin and tap gently to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
