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.
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.
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.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared tins and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden browned and firm to touch. Allow to cool down for 5 minutes, then transfer them onto a serving dish to cool completely.
Spread the jam evenly over one of the cakes. Whip the cream and vanilla until soft peaks form, then spoon the cream over the jam. Top with the remaining cake and sprinkle icing sugar.
