Ingredients
125g plain flour125g granulated sugar6 small (or 4 medium) eggs1 heaped teaspoon baking powder3 tablespoons of jam (jelly)
Makes 8 slices
Line an 8 inch cake pan - I use silicone paper. Heat the oven to 400f
Put eggs and sugar in to a bowl and beat until pale yellow and increased x 3 in volume.
Then slowly add the flour and baking powder passing it through a sieve from about 15 inches above the bowl - the aim is to get lots of air in to the mix. Then, using a metal spoon, fold in the flour using a figure 8 and cutting motion so as not to beat out the air bubbles.
Turn the mixture in to the lined baking pan and bake for 35 mins.
Allow to cook then cut in half sideways and sandwich together with the jam (jelly)
Options -
- sandwich together with semi-pureed fresh fruit
- grate in some orange zest and sandwich together with marmalade
- substitute 25g of the flour for 25g good quality cocoa powder - use cherry jam to sandwich the chocolate cake - yummy!
