Yummy Fluffy Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• • 150ml of SodaStream sparkling water

• • 225g of unsalted softened butter

• • 225g of caster sugar

• • 3 large eggs

• • 1/2 zested lemon

• • 1 teaspoon vanilla

• • 225g self-rising flour

• • 1 pinch of salt

• • 400ml thickened cream, for topping

• • Raspberries, for decoration

• • Icing sugar, for dusting

Method:

• • To prepare the SodaStream Sparkling Water: Fill a Sodastream 1 Liter bottle with cold water and carbonate

• • Preheat oven to 180°C. Butter and flour the base of two 20cm springform cake pans

• • Using an electric blender, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth

• • Add eggs one at a time and blend until the mixture is well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each egg is added

• • Add lemon zest, vanilla, flour, and salt

• • Add sparkling water to the mixture and using a handheld whisk, mix until combined

• • Divide mixture evenly between two pans

• • Bake pans in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean

• • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges of the pan and remove cakes to cool on a wire rack

• • Using a long-bladed serrated knife cut the top off one of the cakes to make it flat. Place it as the base layer of the cake

• • Spread an even layer of whipped cream over the top, then layer on the other sponge cake

• • Finish with some more whipped cream, a scattering of raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar
