restart for a further 5 seconds.
3 Evenly divide the cake batter between the sandwich tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes
or until cake tester comes out of the cake clean.

with a layer of the whipped cream. Carefully place the remaining cake on top;
dust with icing sugar.
whipped cream
1 Refrigerate the cream and the whisk for at least 30 minutes.
2 Cool the metal bowl. Put some ice cubes into it, run the CRUSH programme, empty
and dry thoroughly.
3 Fit the whisk in the metal bowl and add the cream and icing sugar. Remove
the cap from the lid and run the EXPERT programme (without heating) for
2 minutes 30 seconds/speed 7. Depending on the type and temperature of
cream used, it might be necessary to restart the programme. Watch carefully so
that the cream does not become butter. The cream is whipped when traces of the
whisk start to appear on the surface.
TIP
You could fill the cake with fresh berries, and/or replace whipped cream with
buttercream.
