- Put all the sponge cake ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon for 2 – 3 minutes until smooth and well combined.
- Divide your mixture between two greased and bottom-lined 20cm (8 inch) sandwich tins.
- Pop them in the middle of your pre-heated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until beautifully golden.
- Turn them out, remove the paper and cool on a cake rack.
- Spread the jam over the middle, sandwich the two pieces together and dust the top with icing sugar.
