Method

Decorate the top with reserved cream and berries, then chill before dusting with icing sugar.

Preheat oven to 180°C and grease two 23cm tins with butter and baking paper.

Whisk four eggs and half the sugar until thick and pale.

Fold in half the flour and half the melted butter, then pour into a tin.

Repeat steps two and three for the second sponge.

Bake both sponges for 30 minutes until golden and firm.

Cool on a wire rack and slice each sponge horizontally into two layers.

Whip the cream to firm peaks and reserve 4 tablespoons for the top.

Layer sponges with cream and mixed berries, repeating for three layers.
