What you need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C\/fan 160\u00b0C\/gas 4. Line 2 x 20cm cake tins with greaseproof paper. Mix the spread with the sweetener until smooth and then gradually beat in the eggs and vanilla essence. Sift the flour and fold into the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
