Ingredients:

For the sponge cakes:

200g Two Chicks Liquid Whole Egg

225 g | 8 oz | 1 cup margarine, softened

225 g | 8 oz | 1 cup caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

200 g | 7 oz | 1 ⅓ cups self-raising flour


1 tbsp cornflour

For the passion fruit cream:


250 ml | 9 fl oz | 1 cup whipping cream

80 g | 3 oz | ⅔ cup icing sugar, sifted


1 vanilla pod, split with seeds scraped out

2 passion fruit, halved

Method:

For the sponges: Preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) | 350F | gas 4.

Grease eight individual non-stick sponge tins with a little of the margarine.

Cream the remaining margarine with the caster sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until thick, pale and fluffy.

Beat the eggs, a little at a time, into the creamed margarine.

Fold through the flour and cornflour until you have a smooth batter.


Divide the batter between the tins and bake for 20 – 25 minutes until golden, risen, and a cake tester comes out clean from their centres. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

For the passion fruit cream: Whip the cream with 65g icing sugar and the vanilla pod seeds in a bowl until thick/softly peaked.


Scoop the passion fruit puree into the cream and fold gently to incorporate.

Cover and chill for 30 minutes.. Once the sponges have cooled, turn them out from their tins.

Spread half of them with the cream before sandwiching against the remaining sponges.

Dust lightly with the remaining icing sugar before serving.
