Victoria Sponge Cake

Haven't done a pudding in a while and have always been meaning to bake this. A classic which is good with a cup of tea (Tea tastes better in a china cup, as my nain has always told me).

200g Caster Sugar
200g Butter, softened
200g Self Raising Flour
1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
4 Eggs

Filling
Jam (My favourite is raspberry with the seeds in)
250ml Double Cream, whipped
Icing Sugar (To top)

1. Preheat the oven for 200c/180c fan assisted. Grease 2 cake tins with some butter.

2. Mix the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until its smooth. Then mix in each egg one at a time. Fold the flour in.

3. Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and put in the oven for 20 minutes. They should be a golden brown and the sponge should spring back up when lightly pressed.

4. Take one of the sponges and put about 4 tbps of raspberry jam on. Then add the double cream on top. Then layer with the other sponge. To finish, sprinkle on the icing sugar. Serve with tea

How positively British ^_^
