Directions
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm sandwich tins.
Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition.
Gently fold in the flour and salt until well combined.
Divide the batter equally between two tins and smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the tins for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the tins and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, spread the jam on one layer and whip the cream until stiff peaks form, then spread it over the jam. Place the second cake layer on top.
Dust the top with icing sugar, if desired. Your sponge cake with jam and cream is now ready to serve. Enjoy!
