Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Coat 2 spring form pans with baking spray, then line with baking paper. The baking spray helps keep the paper from moving around.
- In a microwave bowl or small saucepan, place the sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Stir every now and then to dissolve the sugar.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Slowly drizzle in the hot sugar mixture with the mixer running. Then beat really hard for 3 minutes. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
- Sift together cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Carefully fold these into the egg mixture. Pour into prepared pans.
- Bake 18-20 minutes. As soon as you remove them from the oven, drop the pans from knee height, square on the floor - seriously! This is a strange sponge making trick that 'shocks' the cake and stops it from deflating.
- Then immediatly turn sponges out onto a wire rack or baking paper to cool upside down.
- Beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Warm jam for a few seconds in the microwave.
- Place one sponge on the serving plate. Spread first with jam, then whipped cream.Top with strawberry slices. Then put second sponge on top. Dust with icing .
VANILLA SPONGE CAKE- GLUTEN, DAIRY, NUT AND EGG FREE
Posting this cake for those who are looking for a cake that is gluten, dairy, egg and nut free. For allergies or food intolerances be sure to read all product labelling and be sure to buy flours that are suitable. This recipe uses a ready mixed gluten-free flour blend that has added gums for baking qualities. If you use a blend that does not have any added gums or gluten-free stabiliser then add in one teaspoon of xantahan or guar gum with the flour. I use ORGRAN brand flour and this is from one of their magazines. Orgran is gluten, dairy, nut, egg free and is vegan diet suitable. As stated - use a general purpose BLENDED gluten-free flour blend for this recipe---this recipe has not been developed for use with coconut flour or almond meal.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C Oil and line a round cake tin. (I use 20cm/8inch pan- but smaller or larger will just vary the height of the cake).
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Use an egg whisk to aerate- their is no need to sift the dry ingredients.
- Using a mixing jug, beat the oil, vinegar, vanilla and water together. Mix well.
- Make a well in the flour mix and add the wet mix. Beat this together slowly and when mixed through beat with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.The mixture should be the consistency of a thick batter. Cook 45-60 minutes.
- When cooked, remove the cake from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before turning out to cool.
- Decorate as desired.

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC. Grease and line 2 8 inch (20cm) round cake tins.
- 2. Use an electric mixer (I use my mix master) beat the eggs for a full 8-9 minutes. They will become pale and creamy and quadruple in size.
- 3. Add the sugar one tablespoon at a time, this is very important. Do NOT just dump it all in. And continue to beat until the sugar has dissolved (add in the vanilla) and beat for roughly another 5 minutes.
- 4. Using a sifter over a plate, sift the flour 3 times. Finally sift the flour over the egg mixture. Gently fold the flour in.
- 5. Carefully divide the batter between the two pans and bake in the pre heated oven. Bake for 20-22 minutes (do not open the oven to take a peak!) The sponge should springs back with touching and the sides of the sponge should have pulled away from the tin.
- 6. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Line a wire rack with baking paper (the top will stick to the rack other wise) and gently turn out.
- 7. Cool completely, cover one half with jam and whipped cream and carefully place the other cake on top. Dust with icing (confection) sugar and serve.

Steps:

- Beat egg whites until stiff.
- Cream egg yolks, water, sugar and vanilla.
- Combine rice flour, corn starch and baking powder.
- Sift flour mix into creamed egg yolks.

- Grease a 9 or 10 inch spring form.
- Pour batter into spring form.
- Bake at 390° F for about 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.
- Fold the egg whites into the batter gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the cake dense.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
- Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking. This will cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
