Yummy Fluffy Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
-
• 150ml of SodaStream sparkling water
-
• 225g of unsalted softened butter
-
• 225g of caster sugar
-
• 3 large eggs

• 1 pinch of salt
-
• 400ml thickened cream, for topping

-
• Add sparkling water to the mixture and using a handheld whisk, mix until combined
-
• Divide mixture evenly between two pans
