-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a tablespoon of flour with each egg to prevent curdling.

Fold in the remaining flour and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
-
Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake tins and smooth the tops.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread the raspberry jam over the top of one cake layer.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form.
-
Spread the whipped cream over the jam layer.
-
Place the second cake layer on top and dust with icing sugar.

Decorate with fresh raspberries.

Serve and enjoy!
