let's make them;

• preheat the oven at 180 degrees celcius. 
• cream sugar and margarine, using the whisk, until light, pale and fluffy.

    -this increases the volume of the mixture.

• beat the eggs in two bowls: beat an egg into one bowl then put it into a common bowl for all the eggs.

   -avoids the mistake of mixing good eggs and rotten ones, the aim of the first bowl is to test each egg before mixing it with the rest

• add in vanilla essence to the eggs
• put an egg at a time into the margarine and sugar mixture whisking all the time.

   -adding one egg at a time ensures total mixture

• add golden syrup and vinegar 

   -the syrup makes the cakes moist and the vinegar  gives them a velvety feel

• sieve together all the dry ingredients into the mixture.
• fold in to mix in the dry ingredients. be careful not to over fold.
• place the cases on the tray.
• scoop the mixture using a spoon and pour into the cases until three-quarters full. 
• place the tray in the oven.
• remove after 15-20 mins or until golden brown and springy to touch.

   serve with whipped cream or icing sugar paste.
