Ingredients 

Cake Ingredients

  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 200 g butter softened
  • 4 eggs large
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Filling Ingredients

  • 100 g butter softened
  • 140 g icing sugar sifted
  • 340 g strawberry jam

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the flour and add the milk to get a dropping consistency.
  5. Divide the mixture between the two cake pans and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For the filling, beat the butter until soft, then gradually beat in the icing sugar. Spread the buttercream over the bottom of one of the sponges. Spread the jam over the bottom of the other sponge and sandwich the two together.
  8. Dust with a little icing sugar before serving.
