Before making this sponge I line my baking tin with glad wrap and pour in a raspberry jelly dissolved with 1 cup boiling water. Put in fridge to set, remove when set and leave on a plate while you make sponge.

Method

• Beat 4 egg whites until stiff
• Bring to the boil 2 tablespoons water and 6ozs sugar
• Pour slowly into egg whites beating all the time
• Add egg yolks and beat in
• Gratually fold in 6ozs cornflour, 1 dessertspoon plain flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder.
• Sift these last 3 ingredients together twice
• Pour into a large lined baking tin (mine is 10 inch square)
• Bake approximately 20 minutes at 200 deg.
• When baked (the top will spring back when presses lightly)
• Turn out on a wire rack to cool

After the sponge is cold split in half and put the set jelly in with a layer of whipped cream. Dust top with icing sugar. Try it ! this really is yummy.
