Ingredients

 

200g Butter

200g unrefined caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

200g self-raising flour

4 Medium free range eggs

Butter for greasing

Icing sugar for dusting

 

For the filling:

Rasberry jam

150ml double cream, whipped or butter cream, half butter / half icing sugar

 

 

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 190?C/gas 5.

 

2. Grease and flour two 20cm sandwich tins.

 

3. Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl or food processor, and mix well to a creamy consistency.

 

4. Slowly beat in the eggs one by one.

 

5. Fold in the flour, having sifted first.

 

6. Pour cake mixture into greased tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes until well-risen, golden brown and when pressed the centre it springs back.

 

7. Turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.

 

8. Spread one cake with jam, followed by a layer of whipped cream, if using butter cream you may wish to spread jam on one and butter cream on the other then sandwich together as this is a lttle easier. Place the other cake on top.

 

9. Dust top of cake with icing sugar for decoration.

 

10. Wait a respectable length of time ( if you can) then munch away :)
