Bake up a little light sponge happiness:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170°C/150° Fan, 325°F, Gas 3 while you whisk the butter along with the Lyle's Golden Syrup and Golden Caster Sugar until soft and creamy.

Step 2

Beat in the eggs a little at a time (make sure each batch is well combined before adding more).

Step 3

Sift over the flour and baking powder; lightly and quickly fold it in with a large metal spoon and then add the milk to make a soft consistency (so it easily drops from the spoon).

Step 4

Spoon the mixture into two 20cm (8”) sandwich tins (greased and lined with parchment paper). It should come to about 1cm (½”) from the top and level out.

Step 5

Bake on the middle shelf for 30-35 minutes until gorgeously golden brown, well risen and the cakes spring back when lightly pressed with a finger.

Step 6

Leave for 20 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

Sandwich the two halves of the cake together, first with the jam; second, the whipped cream and arrange on a plate - then just dust with a little Icing Sugar and you're ready to serve.
