Gradually beat in the eggs a little at a time. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Gently fold in the flour until incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the tin and smooth the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Whisk in the raspberry liquid and enough boiling water to form a smooth thick coating icing.
Stir in the food colouring.

Dip 1 cake square at a time into the icing, turning quickly to coat and allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.
