3 minute sponge with jam and cream
Prep: 3 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - Serves 8-10
Proudly supported by

It's hard to beat an old-fashioned sponge cake with jam and cream. But how about an old-fashioned sponge cake that takes only 3 minutes to prepare? Even better.

Ingredients

Melted butter, for greasing

1 cup self-raising flour

1 tsp cornflour

1 cup caster sugar

3 Tbsp milk

Extra 2 Tbsp melted butter

3 x 60g eggs

Finely grated zest of ½ lemon

1 tsp baking powder

Filling

4 Tbsp raspberry jam

200ml thickened cream, whipped

Icing sugar, for dusting

Fresh raspberries, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease two 20cm round cake tins with melted butter, then line each with baking paper. 

  2. Sift self-raising flour and cornflour into the bowl of an electric mixer. Add sugar, milk, extra butter, eggs and zest and whisk on high for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Fold in baking powder.

  3. Pour mixture into prepared tins. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden and cooked when tested with a skewer.

  4. Cool cakes in tins for 5 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely. 

  5. Spread jam over 1 cake. Spread cream over jam, then top with other cake. Dust with icing sugar, top with raspberries and serve.
