A soft, fluffy vanilla sponge layered with a glossy berry filling and finished with smooth, creamy buttercream!
INGREDIENTS -
Sponge
• 200g unsalted butter, softened
• 200g caster sugar
• 4 medium eggs
• 200g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp milk
Berry Compote
• 250g raspberries or strawberries (fresh or frozen)
• 60g sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp cornflour + 1 tbsp cold water
Buttercream
• 250g unsalted butter, very soft
• 500g icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2–3 tbsp milk
METHOD -
1. Sponge:
Preheat oven to 170°C (fan). Line two 8-inch tins.
Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
Gently fold in flour, then add vanilla and milk.
Divide between tins and bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden.
Cool completely.
2. Berry Compote:
Heat berries, sugar and lemon juice until bubbling.
Stir in cornflour mixture and cook until thick and glossy.
Leave to cool fully - it should be thick and spreadable.
3. Buttercream:
Beat butter for 3-5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Add icing sugar gradually, mixing well.
Add vanilla and milk until smooth and spreadable.
4. Assembly:
• Place one sponge on your board.
• Pipe/spoon on a buttercream dam around the edge (this stops the filling leaking).
• Spoon the berry compote into the centre.
• Add the second sponge on top.
• Apply a thin crumb coat and chill for 20 minutes.
• Finish with a thicker layer of buttercream.
• Decorate with piped flowers in soft pinks and white 🌸"
