Instructions
Sponge Cake
- Separate egg whites from yolks.
- Whisk whites using a hand beater on low-medium speed until stiff.
- Add egg yolks and continue beating for another five minutes.
- Add sugar gradually to egg mixture while continuing to beat on low-medium speed.
- Sift flour, cream of tartar and cornflour three times.
- Fold dry ingredients through egg and sugar mixture using a spatula.
- Combine melted butter, boiling water and bicarb soda. Once combined, add to mixture and combine well using a spatula.
- Pour mixture into a lined round cake tin and bake in a moderately slow oven for 50 mins.
- Once cake is cooked, allow to cool for two minutes before turning out onto a cooling tray covered with two clean tea towels.
Condensed Milk Filling
- To make condensed milk filling, pour condensed milk into a bowl.
- Juice the two lemons and add the lemon juice to the condensed milk.
- Whisk by hand until mixture is an even, thick consistency.
Notes
- To assemble, allow cake to cool completely.
- Spread mock cream (I used Nan Mac's recipe) around sides of the cake and spread a thin layer on the top of the cake.
- Using a piping bag and star nozzle, pipe stars around the outside of the top of the cake.
- Then pour thickened condensed milk filling into centre of cake and decorate with bought sugar flowers.
