Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar sifted, plus extra, to dust
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons butter melted but not hot
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup strawberry jam
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8 inch diameter cake pans and line bases with parchment paper.
- Beat eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla until tripled in volume. Sift in flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Drizzle butter down side of bowl and use a large spoon to gently fold in. Spoon mixture evenly into pans, smoothing surface.
- Bake for 22-25 mins, until cakes are golden and springy to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly in pans before turning on to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whip cream and vanilla extract until firm peaks form. Spread jam over base of 1 cake and gently top with cream, spreading almost to edges. Sandwich with the remaining cake. Dust with powdered sugar.
