Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170 C/Gas 3-4.  Grease and line two 18cm (7 in) tins with baking parchment.

Step 2

Sieve the flour into a bowl and add the sugar, butter and vanilla extract. Crack the eggs and mix well, until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Divide the mixture evenly between the tins. Use a spatula to remove any excess from the bowl and gently smooth the surface of the mixture in the tins.

Step 4

Place the tins on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Leave the cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

Step 5

Once cakes have cooled, place one of the cakes upside down on a plate and spread with jam and cream. Place the other cake on top and sprinkle with caster sugar.

  • 3 free range eggs
  • 150g/6 oz caster sugar and a little extra to dust
  • 150g/6 oz Grahams unsalted butter plus a little extra to grease the tins
  • 150g/6 oz self raising flower
  • A drop of vanilla extract

For the filling
