Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced 160°C). Grease and flour two 20cm round, deep cake tins. Line the bases with baking paper.
Place eggs and Chelsea Caster Sugar into a medium sized clean bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat for approx. 7 minutes or until mixture is thick and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift the Edmonds CornflourEdmonds Custard Powder, cream of tartar and the bicarbonate of soda. Using a metal spoon, gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined taking care not to over mix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared tins. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cake surface springs back when touched lightly in the center. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Make the cream filling/topping by whipping the cream to a soft peak. Fold in the soft icing mixture and vanilla seeds. Continue whipping until desired thickness is achieved.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the raspberry jam evenly on top of the layer. Then evenly spread half of the whipped cream over the jam. Gently place the remaining cake layer on top and spread the remaining cream evenly over this layer. Top with fruit and a dusting of Chelsea Icing Sugar.
