Ingredients

250g unsalted butter/Margarine

1 1/2 cup caster sugar

4 eggs lightly beaten

2 tsp vanilla essence

4 cups self raising flour

4 heaped tsp of baking powder

1 cup milk

Filling

250ml fresh cream,whipped

10 fresh strawberries,halved

Decoration

Icing sugar/ confectioners sugar, sifted

10 whole strawberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 180'C. Prepare two deep 20cm round cake tins by brushing melted butter on the base and sides of the tins. Leave aside

Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy using electric beaters. (if you do not have any electric beaters, beat quickly with a wooden spoon). Add the eggs gradually along with the vanilla essence, beating until combined .

Fold the sifted flour, the baking powder and the milk, using a metal spoon, into the butter mixture.Folding until just smooth.

Divide the the mix into 2 even portions and spreed evening into the 2 tins you prepared earlier. Bake for 45-50mins or until golden brown. (HINT when a skewer is inserted into the centre of the sponge and comes out clean the sponge is baked.)

Leave the sponges in the tins for 15 mins before removing from the tin. Leave on a wired rack until completely cool.

Wash the strawberries. Remove leafy top from 10 of the strawberries and halve these.Leave the other 10 as they are.

Whip the cream until quite stiff.

Brush using a pastry brush the surface of the sponges to remove crumbs. Place 1 sponge on a serving plate. With a blunt knife spread half the cream on one sponge surface. Place the strawberries which you halved on top of the cream.Carefully place the other sponge on top.

Pipe using a piping bag the remaining cream in between the 2 sponges to create a tidy finish. Pipe a circle on top of the cake and carefully place 6 of the whole strawberries in the centre of the cirlce.Place the remaining 4 whole strawberries on the plate.

Sieve the icing sugar to completely cover the top of the cake.
