- In a separate bowl whisk the eggs
- Gradually add the beaten eggs, a little at a time, to avoid the mixture from curdling
- Sieve the flour and fold into the mixture
- Divide the cake mix between the two cake tins and smooth
- Place on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, until the cake appears golden brown
- Insert a skewer and ensure it comes out clean

- Cream the softened butter with the sieved icing sugar and seeds from the vanilla pod (or vanilla essence)
Assembling the cake:
- Ensure that both sponges are completely cold before spreading a layer of jam onto the surface of one sponge
- Spread a thick layer of buttercream on top of the jam (if you prefer this can be done first)
- Gently place the second sponge on top and gently press down
- Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve
