Ingredients :

For the cake:

250 gr OR 1 cup + 2 tbsp of unsalted butter

250 gr OR 1 1/4 cup of caster sugar

250 gr OR 1 2/3 cups + 1 tbsp of plain sifted flour

4 large eggs

10 gr OR 1 tbsp of baking powder

For the filling and decoration:

500 ml of double cream

3-4 tbsp of icing sugar

blue food colouring

strawberries

100 gr OR 1/2 cup of raspberry jam ( you can use more or less)

Directions:

Step 1 : In a stand mixer or you can do this with electric mixer, add your eggs, soft butter, sugar, flour and baking powder and mix well until just combined. Do not over mix the dough.

Step 2 : Preheat your oven to 190 C / 375 F.

Step 3 : Line two cake tins ( I used 20 cm / 8 inch) with some butter or cooking spray and parchment paper.

Step 4 : Divide the mixture between two tins equally. You can weight it so its definitely the same.

Step 5 : Bake in preheated oven for 25-35 min until they have risen, are golden and the toothpick comes out clean when you test the cake.

Step 6 : Cool the cakes for 20 min.

Step 7 : To make the cream, whisk your cold cream with icing sugar until nice and creamy.

Step 8 : Divide the cream into 3 bowl. Use about 2-3 tbsp of cream ( the one you will be using for colours ) Add food colouring into first bowl, mix until you get desired colour and do the same with the second one.

Step 9 : Spread the jam onto the sponge, then add second layer and coat the cake in cream. Write the logo and decorate with strawberries.

Step 9 : Cake keeps well in a fridge up to 3 days. Enjoy!
