Yummy Manor House / Countryish Cake

Ingredients 140 g (5 oz) self raising flour 1 teaspoon baking powder (we made sure it was really level, because we were thinking of Mary Berry watching us in our imaginary tent). 115 g (4 oz) light soft brown sugar (although, my Little Pet used dark, and actually, it was fine) 2 eggs, beaten (we like using Waitbose* Intelligent Eggs, …
