Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue to mix until well incorporated.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To serve, drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract over the cooled cake for an extra burst of flavor.
- Slice and enjoy Nanna's Golden Syrup Custard Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
- Use a high-quality vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the cake.
- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure and prevent it from becoming soggy.
