  Made this cake for my husband's birthday as he wanted a cake like his mother used to make. A tall order as i 'd never met her! It did however pass his test and tasted delicious. I used strawberry jam with very thinly sliced fresh strawberries with fresh cream. The texture was light and airy.

  I made this the other day- after 20 minutes the cakes were risen and golden brown but still raw inside- I had to leave them for 40 minutes before they were actually cooked by which time the cake was pretty solid.....tins were slightly smaller than 20cm but would it really make that much difference?

  Add 1tbsp of the flour when mixing in each egg & this will prevent the mixture curdling

  Watching my boyfriend make this cake. He's managed to add the flour first instead of the sugar... Waiting to see how it turns out now :)

  Sponge was wonderfully light but was in a thousand pieces! Followed all instructions but it stuck to my tins like glue!! Absolutely gutted, what a mess :-(

  Dead easy and turned out perfect. Used butter cream instead of double cream and strawberry conserve. It was delicious. Will be making this again and again.

  One word for this: Lush! I've made it a few times and it has turned out really well each time. Best made with fresh cream and jam, in my opinion. Guaranteed to be eaten up in one sitting in my house.
