All In One Sponge Cake
No creaming or folding, this is a simple, quick and easy stand-by sponge. Choose your own filling, fruit, cream, lemon curd or jam. For a variation add some vanilla essence, lemon or orange zest to the ingredients. Requires 2 round 8 inch sandwich baking tins, greased and lined with baking paper. I sometimes need to cut a thin slice from the top of of one of the sponges to level them before i sandwich them together.
Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
Measure out all the ingredients , put in to a large bowl and beat until well blended.
Divide this between the two tins.
Level out and bake in the oven for approx 30-35 minutes , until well risen and the top of the sponges spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.
Leave them to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before you turn them out.
Remove the paper and let them completely cool on a cake rack.
When cold , sandwich them together with your favorite filling.
Sprinkle caster or powdered sugar on the top.
