Ingredients

200g plain flour
175g caster sugar
3 tsp baking powder
100g cocoa powder
175g softened butter
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
100ml milk

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas mark 4. Grease two 20cm round cake tins and line the base with baking parchment.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Add the softened butter and mix until it resembles breadcrumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Divide the mixture between the two cake tins, and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, spread the top of one cake with your favourite jam. Place the other cake on top, and dust with icing sugar.
