2. sprinkle 1.5tbs castor sugar into the pan & tilt to distribute an even layer of sugar to the bottom & sides of pan. shake off the remaining excess
3. sift flour, baking powder & cornflour into mixing bowl - 3times
4. cream butter in mixer until soft & pale. add remaining sugar until light & fluffy.
5. add eggs, 1 at a time

verdict:

my kids helps me to sift the flour.. they lost count & i suppose they did 5times or more!
