Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. With wax paper (grease proof paper) and a little butter or oil, grease the bottom and sides of two 9 inch cake pans.
  2. Line the bottom of the pans with parchment or grease proof paper.
  3. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together.
  4. Add each egg in one at a time. Allow the cake batter to blend well before the next egg is added.
  5. Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time.
  6. Add the warm water, about a tablespoon at a time.
  7. Pour the cake batter evening between the two prepared pans.
  8. Tap the cake pans on the counter top a couple of times to remove large pockets of air. Place in a 350 degrees F oven for about 15 - 18 minutes.
  9. When baked, remove the cakes from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
  10. Further cool the cakes by running a thin bladed knife around the sides of the cake pan. Holding the cake pan in one hand, turn it onto the wire rack, it should release easily.
  11. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the cream.
  12. Remove the paper from the base of each cake layer.
  13. Place one cake layer onto a serving plate and add the jam. Spread the jam evenly over the sponge cake.
  14. When the cream develops peaks, spread it evenly over the jam.
  15. Place the other sponge cake directly on top making sure it is correctly positioned.
  16. Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh strawberries.
