Mary Berry’s all-in-one cake is a simple sponge cake where all the ingredients are mixed together in one go, instead of creaming butter and sugar separately. It produces a light, even-textured cake every time and is ideal for beginner bakers or anyone who loves fuss-free baking.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 225g self-raising flour

  • 225g caster sugar

  • 225g unsalted butter (softened)

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

(Optional Filling and Topping)

  • 100ml double cream or buttercream

  • 3 tbsp strawberry or raspberry jam

  • Icing sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 20cm (8-inch) round cake tins with baking paper.

Step 2: Combine the ingredients

In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Divide and bake

Spoon the batter evenly between the prepared tins. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool the cakes

Let the cakes cool in their tins for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Assemble and serve

Spread jam and whipped cream (or buttercream) on one sponge, then place the second sponge on top. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
