SPONGE KISSES
Over Christmas all the cooks in my family started writing down recipes. This was one of my childhood favourites. Be sure to fill the cakes at least 2 hours before serving so they are nice and soft. You can make them more grownup by omitting the vanilla and jam and mix 1/2 cup of raspberries and 2 tsp liqueur into the cream
