Sponge cake

Sponge cake

Ingredients:

200 g  Cake flour
20 ml   baking powder
10 eggs
210  g caster sugar
120  g butter, melted
300  g strawberry jam
250  ml cream, whipped
Icing sugar, for sifting on top
200  g strawberries

Method:

  • Heat oven to 180 C. Sift flour and baking powder together. Repeat the sifting process three times- it is important to ensure there is a lot of air trapped between flour particles.
  • Break eggs in a clean mixing bowl and add sugar. Whisk at high speed for 8-10 minutes or until thick and frothy.
  • Fold sifted flour and baking powder carefully into egg mixture. Carefully add melted butter.
  • Line two cake tins with baking paper and spray well with non-stick spray. Divide mixture between tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. Turn out and let cool to room temperature.
  • Spread strawberry jam on one cake round, followed by whipped cream. Place second round on top, sift icing sugar over and place strawberries on top.
