The Good Bit
- Pre heat your oven to 180c 350f gas 4. Start by mixing together the sugar and butter until well and truly mixed (it should be light and fluffy) now add in an egg and beat, then add in the second egg and 1 tablespoon of flour and beat some more, fold in the rest of the flour and then add the tablespoon of water.
- Divide the mixture between your 2 tins and bake for 20 minutes, they should be golden and a little springy to the touch when done, tip them out onto a wire rack and allow to cool. Spread jam on one side then top with cream, place the second cake on top of this then sprinkle with a little caster sugar and enjoy in the afternoon with a cup of tea!!
