Time 55m

Yield Serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 10

225g butter , at room temperature, plus extra for the tin
225g golden caster sugar
225g self-raising flour
4 large eggs , lightly beaten
4 tbsp seedless raspberry jam
a few drops of pink food colouring (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp icing sugar , for dusting
200g white chocolate , chopped
100ml double cream

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the bases of two 18cm sandwich tins. Beat the butter, sugar, flour and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric whisk until it's lump-free.
  • Divide the mixture between two bowls. Beat half the jam and the food colouring, if using, into one, and beat the vanilla into the other.
  • Spoon alternating dollops of the mixes into the prepared cake tins, then swirl together using a skewer. Do this carefully - if you overdo it, you won't see the pattern. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 mins, then turn out.
  • Meanwhile, to make the white chocolate layer, put the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until the chocolate has melted into the cream and you're left with a smooth, glossy mixture. Leave to cool completely in the fridge, stirring occasionally.
  • Sandwich the cakes together with the remaining raspberry jam and the white chocolate mixture, then generously dust the top with icing sugar. Slice and serve.
