Line the tin

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease a 20cm (8in) square tin. Cut nonstick baking paper into a 30cm x 20cm (12in x 8in) rectangle. Fold in half across the long side, unfold and line the base of the tin, using the excess to make a pleat in the centre creating two areas.
  2. Using an electric whisk, beat 200g softened unsalted butter, 200g caster sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract, until pale and fluffy. Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, beating well, then fold in 200g sifted self-raising flour and 1 level tsp baking powder. Transfer the mixture to a bowl set on some kitchen scales, then weigh out half and colour with ¾ of a 10g tube pink food colour gel.
