Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to moderate 180°C. Lightly grease eight 10cm round springform pans.
2.In a small bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs and brown sugar together for 8-10 minutes, until thick and creamy. Transfer to a large bowl.
3.Sift cornflour, cream of tartar and soda twice onto paper. Sift over egg mixture, then gently fold in.
4.Divide mixture between pans. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cake springs back when touched lightly with your fingertip. Turn onto a baking paper-lined wire rack to cool completely. Cut each in half.
5.To make vanilla cream, using an electric mixer, whip cream and paste together in a small bowl until soft peaks form.
6.Spread conserve over bottom half of each sponge. Spread with vanilla cream and top with remaining sponge half. Serve mini sponges dusted with icing sugar.
7.If preferred, divide mixture between two 20cm round sandwich pans to make 1 large sponge. Cook for a little longer, until sponge springs back when touched.
Wheaten cornflour gives a lighter result, but normal cornflour can be used.
