Total: 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

200g unsalted butter, softened
200g caster sugar
4 large eggs
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp milk
4 tbsp strawberry jam
200ml double cream
Icing sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease and line two 20cm round cake tins.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, then fold into the mixture using a spatula.
Stir in the milk to loosen the batter slightly.
Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake tins and smooth the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread one cake with strawberry jam and the other with whipped double cream.
Sandwich the cakes together and dust the top with icing sugar.
Serve and enjoy!
