Basic Sponge Sandwich

Submitted by rasully

"A simple yet versatile 3 ingredient cake which can be decorated, or used for cupcakes and butterfly cakes. I use one 7 inch tin then split in order to sandwich with butter icing Recipe #305948 and jam (I prefer strawberry but my mum prefers raspberry.) Best to warm the jam slightly before spreading, ,makes life easier."
