  2. Divide equally between two well greased 7½in sandwich tins.
  3. Bake at 190°C (375°F) / Gas Mark 5 for approximately 30 minutes until lightly browned, and cake is springy to the touch and will pull away from the sides of the tin.
  4. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
  5. Sandwich together with the cream.
