Ingredients

For the cake:

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For the cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F
  • Place all of the ingredients in a mixer or food processor and blend until everything is mixed.
  • Split the batter between 2 greased 8 inch round tins, and bake for 25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Cool completely.

For the cream:

  • Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Add powdered sugar (to taste), skimmed milk powder (if using - This is to help give the whipped cream structure so it doesn't flatten out too quickly), and vanilla. Mix in gently.
  • Place one layer of the cooled cake on a cake plate and the other half on a plate. Spread the whipped cream over the bottom layer and then spread the jam over the other and sandwich them together.
  • Dust with a powdered sugar before serving.
