This sponge is really quick and easy to make and perfect with a cup of tea after a winter walk!
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 170ºC / gas mark 3
- Sieve the flour and baking powder
- Put all the ingredients into a large bowl or food processor and mix until smooth creamy mixture. You can use and electric hand whisk if you have one.
- Divide the mixture equally between two 20cm round tins and cook for 30 mins or until golden brown. The tops of the cakes should spring back when pressed lightly with a finger and a knife comes out cleanly when put into the centre of the cake.
- Turn the sponges out onto a cooling rack and carefully peel back the lining. Leave to cool.
- Spread the jam and whipped cream over the bottom of one and place the other on the top, sprinkle with icing sugar and enjoy.
Cooks Tip – Chocolate Cake:
If you need a bit of chocolate just add 2 tbsp cocoa powder and omit the vanilla essence.
