Ingredients

Sponge

225 g self-raising flour
225 g caster sugar
225 g margarine
4 eggs
1.5 tsp baking powder

Fillig and Decorating

300 ml whipping cream 2x
4 tbsp icing sugar
400 g strawberries

Instructions

Sponge

Pre-heat the oven to 150º C. Grease the tin and line the bottom with a baking paper.
Measure all ingredients into a large bowl and beat them together until they are properly combined and fluffy.
Pure the mixture into the tin, smooth the surface and bake in the oven for about 55 minutes.
Leave the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes and then take out and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cool you can cut the cake with a long knife horizontally in half.

Filling and Decorating

With an electric whisk whip first cream and 2 tablespoons of icing sugar until it creates stiff peaks and folds. Don't over whisk as it would make a butter.
Spread the whipped cream over one half of the cake and sandwich the second sponge on top of it.
Whisk the remaining cream and sugar and spread it over the top.
Decorate the top of the cake with strawberries.

Notes

The cake is done when the sponge shrinks from the edge of the tin a bit and the cake springs back if you gently press it. Another method is to use a cake tester, which can be a simple toothpick. It should come out clean when inserted into the centre of the sponge.
