The afternoon-tea classic — vanilla sponge, whipped cream and berries in layers. A tender, bakery-style crumb that stays moist for days. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Heavy Cream1/4 cup
Salta pinch
Eggs3
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
Strawberries2 cups, hulled and sliced

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F, grease the tin and dust it so nothing sticks later.
2
Cream the butter, sugar and butter together until the mixture turns several shades lighter.
3
Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.
4
Pour into the tin and bake 30-40 minutes, until a skewer in the centre comes out clean.
5
Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
