Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  • Beat in the eggs individually, adding a little flour if the mixture starts to curdle.
  • Fold in the flour using a metal spoon without over-mixing.
  • Divide the batter between the tins and level the tops with a spatula.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until golden and the sponges spring back when touched.
  • Cool in the tins for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Spread one sponge with jam and whipped cream then top with the second sponge.
  • Dust the top with icing sugar and serve.
