8 slices
Directions:Beat together the softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until soft and creamy.
Slowly add the beaten eggs to the mix, stirring constantly, and then beat until smooth and thick.
Sift in the flour in stages, and gently fold into the mixture.
Add the vanilla essence. Beat gently for a couple of minutes until mixture is light and fluffy
Scrape mix out into a prepared cake tin and smooth over with a flat knife.
Bake at 180c for around 15-20 minutes, or until the top springs back when pressed and is lightly browned.
When done, carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
Repeat, so you end up with two thin cakes. Thickly spread strawberry jam onto one, and very carefully sandwich the two cakes together.
Decorate and serve as you wish!
