-In a small bowl cream together the butter and sugar until well combined and lighter in colour. Add the eggs and whisk until completely incorporated into the butter mixture. Whisk in the milk.Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk until just combined and no large lumps remain.
-Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when pressed gently in the centre.
