INGREDIENTS

  • Cake Batter

    • 1 ⅓ cups self-rising flour
    • ¾ cup white sugar
    • ¾ cup margarine
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🥚 3 eggs

  • Filling & Frosting

    • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
    • ¼ cup butter
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ cup strawberry or raspberry jam

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 7-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.

2

Sift self-rising flour into a bowl; add sugar, margarine, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Crack in eggs; beat with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Divide batter between the cake pans; smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.

3

Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

4

Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.

5

Sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl; add butter and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until frosting is light and fluffy.

6

Spread jam over 1 cake layer; cover jam with frosting. Place second cake layer on top.
