Ingredients

250g Butter
250g Self raising flour
250g Sugar
4 Eggs
600ml Whipped cream
1 Bottle of raspberry coulis

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C and grease a spring loaded circular cake tin and line the base with greaseproof paper.

2. Place your butter into the microwave for about 20 seconds (this will make the butter softer for you to mix together). Add the rest of the ingredients to your butter except the cream and raspberry coulis. Mix all of it together with an electric whisk for a few seconds without turning it on until some of the flour is mixed in. Then turn the electric whisk on a low setting and mix until light and fluffy. (If you have a food processor you can put all your ingredients in straight away and

3. Pour the mixture into your cake tin and place into the oven for around 35-40 minutes until a golden brown colour. When cooked take out of the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool but leaving it in the tin.

4. Get a knife and cut ¾ of the way up from the base in a straight line. Spoon about 3-4 tbsp's of raspberry coulis on both of the insides of the sponges and spread out until all of the sponge is covered. Pour your whipped cream into a bowl and use your electric whisk until it stiffens. (TIP: if you tip the bowl upside down and nothing falls out then it is done).

5. Add quite a few drops of raspberry coulis to your cream and using a wooden skewer marble it into the cream using the method of a figure of 8. Spread your marbled cream on top of your base and place all your raspberries on top, covering the cream. Carefully place the lid of the cake on top of the raspberries and cream and sift some icing sugar on top.

There you go your cake it now ready to serve, you can serve it with the lid on or you could serve it as an open cake like this.
