15 ml baking powder
1 pinch salt
315 ml castor sugar

125 ml milk
65 ml water

2. Place melted margarine in a bowl. Sift in dry ingredients, then add sugar, eggs (one at a time), milk, water and vanilla essence.

3. Mix well for 3 minutes by hand or 1-1/2 minutes with an electric mixer at a low speed, until mixture is smooth.
