Categories: cakes & cupcakes british bakes afternoon tea snacks dessert Serves 8-10 Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time 30-35 minutes Ingredients FOR THE CAKE 275g (10oz) unsalted butter, softened 150g (5oz) Lyle's Golden Syrup 125g (4½oz) Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Golden Caster Sugar 5 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten 275g (10oz) self-raising flour 1 rounded tsp baking powder 1 tbsp milk FOR THE FILLING & DECORATION 175ml (6floz) double cream, lightly whipped 5 rounded tbsp raspberry jam Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Icing Sugar Instructions Bake up a little light sponge happiness: 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. Beat in the eggs a little at a time (make sure each batch is well combined before adding more). 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). 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. 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. Leave for 20 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. 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.
