Alternatively, stick a skewer into the centre of the cake and if it comes out completely clean, you\u2019re good to go!)\nLeave to cool in the tins for about 10 minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely \u2013 Make sure the cake is definitely cool before decorating\nWhilst your cake is cooling, whip your fresh cream until it is thick, glossy and forms firm white peaks when mixing (be careful not to over-whip it! We don\u2019t want to make butter by accident!)\nPlop a generous dollop of your whipped cream onto one cake sponge and spread evenly\nYou can mix your raspberry jam up in a bowl to make it runnier and easier to spoon onto the cream layer\nOnce your cream and jam are layered, place your second sponge on top to create your layered cake sandwich\nYou can top your cake off with some more cream and decorate as you please but some whole strawberries and chocolate shavings is always a nice touch.\nServe and enjoy!\n\n\ufeff\n\nWriter: Rebecca Cunningham\nVoice-Over Artists: Rebecca Cunningham, Tessa Flannery, Sabrina Glow, and Robb Moreira\nProducer: Chad Chenail\nExecutive Producer: Rebecca Cunningham and Wildbrain\nRecipe by: Florence Ainley\nLinks for the Grownups!\nPersonalized Stories\nJoin the Ghost Tour Club!\nGirl Tales Events\nPatreon\nGirl Tales Store\nRebecca\u2019s Newsletter\nFacebook\nInstagram\nBuy the Girl Tales Team a Coffee\nStarglow Media
