Perfect Sponge Cake Recipe
2 Eggs
3oz/75g Caster Sugar
3oz/75g Plain Flour
Filling %26amp; Top
1 Tbsp Powdered Sugar
1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence
300ml Fresh Double Cream
Strawberry Conserve/Jam
Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
First crack your eggs into a large bowl, whisk them for a few seconds just lightly. Add your caster sugar only and whisk until your mixture thickens and turns almost white in colour.
This will take 5-10 minutes using an electric whisk, do not try to cut corners and just give it a whisk for a minute or two!
You may also think that your mixture should be thicker but as long as the colour has gone almost white it should be just fine.
Take a sieve and gently add your flour. Gently fold flour into your mixture until you can see it has all mixed together nicely. (to fold take a spoon and very gently stir your spoon over and under the mixture rather than just stiring as normal - the reason is to keep all the air bubbles inside the mixture).
Pour your sponge cake mixture into a greased and floured round tin. Place in a pre-heated oven at 180C for approx 20-30 minutes (depending on your oven).
Do not open your oven door until you are checking it towards to end of being cooked.
To check if your cake is ready you can just lightly press on it with your finger and if it is bouncy it is ready. Once cooked leave in its tin to cool a little.
Once cooler you can go around the edges with a knife to gently nudge it out. It should come out easily.
Take a large bread knife and gently cut your cake in half. If you cut into a warm cake it will crumble so make sure it has cooled.
Lay each half upside down. Spread bottom half with a thin but coated layer of jam.
Now whisk up your cream for a minute, then add your table spoon of powdered sugar and vanilla essence - whisk until it is a thick whipped cream (this won't take long at all).
Spread the cream on top of your jam, do not spread cream right to the edge
of your cake as when you slice it it will spread to the edges.

Sponge Cake :)
Ingredients:
Half a dozen eggs (never less than 12 oz).
12 to 14 oz sugar (same weight as the eggs).
6 to 7 oz cake or all purpose flour (half the weight of the eggs).
pinch salt.
Method:
1.Separate eggs, beat yolks and sugar well, then leave standing until bubbles appear, while whisking the egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites into the sugar and yolk mixture, then fold in the flour and pinch of salt.
2.Pour into a well greased tube tin (we always used a deep Gugelhopf type tin) and bake in the centre of a 180 degree oven for about 1 hour.
3.This recipe does NOT work in a fan oven, it will fail if there is any draft! I do know it has been made very successfully in a gas oven.
