Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 x 50g eggs, at room temperature
175g (¾ cup) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla essence
100g (2⁄3 cup) self-raising flour
30g (¼ cup) cocoa powder
2 Tbsp cornflour
100g (1⁄3 cup) 50% less sugar fruit spread
1½ x 125g tubs vanilla bean flavoured dairy dessert (such as Fruche)
Icing sugar, to dust (optional)
Method
-
Preheat oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Spray bases and sides of 2 x 6cm-deep, 18cm (base measurement) round cake tins with cooking spray. Line bases with baking paper.
-
Using an electric mixer, whisk eggs and sugar on medium for 10 minutes or until thick and pale. Whisk in vanilla extract. Sift flour, cocoa powder and cornflour into a medium bowl.
-
Add half the flour mixture to egg mixture. Using a large metal spoon, fold in until just combined. Fold in remaining flour mixture. Divide mixture between prepared tins. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until sponge springs back when lightly touched.
-
Line 2 wire racks with baking paper. Turn out sponges onto racks, then turn sponges right-side up and leave for 20 minutes to cool. Put 1 sponge on a serving plate. Spread with fruit spread and dairy dessert. Top with second sponge. Dust with icing sugar, if you like, to serve.
