Vanilla tray bake is a lovely dessert ideal for sharing with family and friends. This is a simple and nostalgic school dinner classic. A wonderful traybake that will brighten any occasion with its moist sponge and rainbow sprinkles.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and grease a 9-inch square pan with butter and line with parchment paper
In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar until there are no traces of sugar
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated after each addition. With the last egg add the vanilla extract
Add half of the plain flour and the baking powder then mix until just combined
Add the remaining flour along with the milk then mix until there are no traces of flour
Pour the batter into the tin and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean
Allow the cake to cool completely before preparing the glaze
In a small bowl add the icing sugar and the milk then mix until well combined – the icing should slowly glide off the spoon when lifted, if it is too thick then add a drop of milk at a time until the right consistency is reached
Pour the glaze on top of the cake then top with the sprinkles
Allow to set for 10 minutes, then cut into slices before serving
