The recipe did not include any leavening agents, so my cake came out flat and dense. Was disappointed because I was expecting it to coke out moist and fluffy. I would like to try again with baking powder or baking soda and something acidic.

My beater had broken so was looking for a quick mix cake. This is lovely, I added some vanilla extract and lemon, next time I think I shall add sultanas,. So versatile, quick and delicious.
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 20cm round tin or line with baking paper.
Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl.
Melt the butter in a separate bowl in the microwave. Break eggs into a measuring cup and fill with milk to the "1 cup' mark.
Pour liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and beat with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Place mixture into the prepared tin and bake for half an hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
