Equipment needed: 2 x 23cm cake tins, parchment paper and hand blender
Please note, this recipe makes a cake to fit a 23cm cake tin, making approximately 10-12 servings.
Preheat the oven to 180°C non fan/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Grease and flour the sides of two 23cm loose-bottomed cake tins and line the base with baking paper.
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and sugar into a large mixing bowl and mix together.
Whisk the sunflower oil, milk of choice, syrup and vanilla (for cake) in a jug and pour the mixture into the dry ingredients. Then, using a hand-blender, whisk for 2 minutes until thick and creamy.
Spoon the sponge mixture into the prepared cake tins and bake for 35–45 mins until risen and cooked through. You can check this by using a toothpick (it should come out clean).
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 15 mins in the tin. Remove and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
It’s time to make the filling! Beat together the spread, icing sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl, cover and leave to firm up in the fridge until you need it.
Spread the jam evenly over one half of the cake, followed by two-thirds of the cream mixture. Pop the second cake on top. You can either use the remaining cream mixture and fruit to decorate, or lightly dust with icing sugar.
