You can’t go wrong with this British classic. A cake good enough for queen victoria herself. It’s light and sweet and oh so spongy!

  • 6oz Caster Sugar

  • 3 Medium Eggs

  • 1tsp Vanilla Extract

  • 6oz Self-Raising Flour

  • 1tsp Baking Powder

  • Icing Sugar for powdering

The Filling:
  • 4tbsp Jam

  • 2oz Butter

  • 4oz Icing Sugar

  • 2tsp Milk

Method:
  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 180 and grease two baking tins.

  • Step 2

    Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour and baking powder until you have a nice smooth mixture.

  • Step 3

    Spoon the mixture evenly into two baking tins and spread it to cover the bottom of the tins.

  • Step 4

    Now bake this in the oven for 25-30 mins. Test by poking a metal skewer into the centre of your cake. If it comes out dry, your cake is ready.

  • Step 5

    When its nice and golden remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.

  • Step 6

    For the icing, beat together your butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract and milk until you have a nice, thick buttercream.

    When the sponges are completely cool, spread a thick layer of the buttercream on one of the sponges and a thick layer of your favourite jam on the other sponge.

  • Step 8

    Carefully sandwich the two sponges together with the butter cream and jam fillings in the centre.

  • Step 9

    Sieve over some icing sugar as a finishing touch. Cut yourself a slice and dig in!
