Step 2

Grease two 18cm loose-based tins with Pure spread and line the bases with baking parchment.

Step 4

Whisk egg and vanilla essence together. Add this and melted Pure spread to the dry mixture and beat well.

Step 6

Divide batter between the two prepared tins. Bake for 35 minutes or until the edges have come away from the side.
