Ingredients:
Cake:
- 4 eggs
- 8oz caster sugar
- 8oz Stork
- 8oz self raising flour
Buttercream:
- 5oz Stork or butter
- 10oz icing sugar
- Strawberry jam to fill
- Fresh strawberries to decorate
Method:
- Line the base of two 8" sandwich tins and set your oven to gas mark 3/170℃.
- Whisk up the eggs and sugar till light and fluffy next add the Stork and mix till it's all combined then finally fold in the flour.
- Once it's all combined divided between the two tins and level with a spoon finally give each tin a tap on your worktop and then bake on the middle shelf for around 40/45 mins (I like to bake mine separate as this gives a even bake to your cake. Once baked and cooled make your buttercream by whipping up your Stork/butter till it's nice and fluffy and then add the icing sugar a little at a time.
- Put a layer of jam on your 1st cake then a layer of buttercream then pop the second cake on top and decorate with more buttercream and fresh strawberries
TIP: The buttercream rosettes on this cake are done with a open star nozzle. My cake has Stork buttercream but I know it's frowned on by the baking world but my lot enjoy it.
