Description

This sponge cake recipe is simple to make and is so moist on the inside. Serves 8.

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 3/4 cup of caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of plain all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of self raising flour, sifted
• 2 1/1 oz of unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup of jam
• 1 cup of cream
• icing sugar to sprinkle over cake

Steps

1. Preheat the oven oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C). Grease two 8 1/2 inch round cake tins and line the base of each with baking paper.
2. Combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large ovenproof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Beat with an electric mixer for 6-7 minutes, or until the mixture is light colored and thick in texture. Remove from the heat and continue to beat for a further 3 minutes.
3. Using a large spoon, gently fold in the sifted flour, then add the melted butter. Mix the ingredients until there is no trace of white flour.
