This is a classic vanilla-flavoured sponge cake that uses the
Vanilla Cake Mix home-made cake mix substitute as a base and uses egg whites only. Essentially what you get is a very pale Victoria sponge cake.
Ingredients:
550g (1 standard batch)
Vanilla Cake Mix
50g butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
240ml milk
Jam, to assemble
icing sugar, to dust
Method:
Turn the cake mix into a large bowl then add the butter and either rub or cut into the mixture with pastry knives until the mix resembles coarse crumbs. Form a well in the centre of the resultant mixture and pour in the milk, vanilla and egg whites. Stir well to combine and beat until smooth then divide the batter between two 20cm sandwich pans that have been greased and floured.
Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 175°C and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the surface springs back when pressed and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly. To keep this cake as pale as possible you want to almost under-bake it and do not allow to colour too much. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
To assemble place one cake on a serving plate, coat the top with jam or jelly (strawberry, raspberry, apricot, plum and blackcurrant are traditional) then sit the second cake on top. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
