6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely.

1. Spread a generous layer of strawberry or raspberry jam on one cake layer.
2. Add a layer of whipped cream or buttercream frosting for extra richness.
3. Place the second cake layer on top, and dust with powdered sugar for a regal presentation.
