Serves:
Ingredients
- 200g butter, softened
- 200g caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 200g self-raising flour
- 2 tbsp milk
- 150g strawberry jam
- 150ml double cream
- Icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease and line two 8-inch round cake tins.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and creamy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour with each addition to prevent curdling.
-
Fold in the remaining flour until fully combined, then stir in the milk to loosen the mixture.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared tins and smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, spread the strawberry jam over one of the sponges and top with the double cream. Place the second sponge on top.
-
Dust with icing sugar before serving.
