Ingredients

5-1/3 ounces, weight Butter
5-1/3 ounces, weight Caster Sugar
2 whole Eggs
5-1/3 ounces, weight Plain Flour
3 teaspoons Baking Powder
_____
FOR THE ICING:
1-7/8 ounces, weight Butter
3-5/8 ounces, weight Icing Sugar
1 dash Milk
1 jar (about 350-gram Jar) Strawberry Or Raspberry Jam

Directions

1

Soften the butter in the microwave, then cream with the caster sugar.
2

Beat the eggs and then beat them into the butter and sugar mixture. If the mixture starts to curdle, stir in a spoonful or two of the flour.
3

Beat in the flour and the baking powder, then evenly divide the batter into two prepared cake tins. My tins are about 7 inches in diameter, but it doesn't matter too much!
4

Bake on the top shelf of a 180-degree Centigrade oven for 15 - 20 minutes, then turn out of the tins and allow to cool.
5

Meanwhile, soften the butter for the icing, then beat in the icing sugar slowly, then the dash of milk to make it more spreadable.
6

Spread one of the cakes with the buttercream, then with jam, then put the other cake on top. You can dust it with icing sugar if you're feeling fancy.
