Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins. Use a piece of baking paper to rub a little butter around the inside of the tins until the sides and base are lightly coated, then line the bottom with a circle of baking paper.
- Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl, then add the sugar, flour, baking powder and butter. Mix together until well combined with an electric hand mixer (you can also use a wooden spoon), but be careful not to over mix. Put a damp cloth under your bowl when you’re mixing to stop it moving around. The finished mixture should fall off a spoon easily.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the tins: this doesn’t need to be exact, but you can weigh the filled tins if you want to check. Use a spatula to remove all of the mixture from the bowl and gently smooth the surface of the cakes.
- Bake the cakes on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 minutes. Check them after 20 minutes. The cakes are done when they’re golden-brown and coming away from the edge of the tins. Press them gently to check – they should be springy to the touch. Set aside to cool in their tins for 5 minutes. Run a palette or rounded butter knife around the inside edge of the tins and carefully turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack.
- To assemble the cake, place one cake upside down onto a plate and spread it with plenty of jam. If you want to, you can spread over whipped cream too. Top with the second cake, top-side up. Sprinkle over the caster sugar.

Steps:
- This mix makes enough to fill 2 x standard 7inch Victoria sandwitch tins or 1 x 10inch diameter tin. Grease and base line your tin(s) with baking paper; preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
- Gently heat the margarine, sugar and treacle together in a pan, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool a little.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour and ground spices. Pour in the treacle mix and stir thoroughly to combine. Mince the stem ginger finely and stir with the eggs into the mix.
- Warm the milk gently in a saucepan, stirring gently to avoid it burning at the base of the pan. Add the bicarb of soda and let it foam a little. Stir into the gingerbread mixture until well blended.
- Pour into the prepared tin(s).
- Baking time: for 2x 7 inch cakes is 25-30mins (bake both together). For 1x 10inch cake bake for approx 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- This cake keeps really well in an airtight tin, and actually improves over the first 2-3 days. Enjoy!

MARY BERRY COFFEE HAZELNUT PRALINE CAKE RECIPE | BBC2 ...
From thehappyfoodie.co.uk
1. You will need two 20cm (8in) round, loose-bottomed sandwich tins and a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4, then grease the tins and line each base with a disc of baking paper.
2. Dissolve the coffee granules in the hot water and stir until smooth. Measure the eggs, baking spread, sugar, flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl and add the dissolved coffee mix. Beat with an electric hand whisk until well mixed and no lumps of fat remain. Divide between the tins and level the tops.
3. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until well risen and just shrinking away from the sides of the tins. Leave to cool slightly, then remove from the tins and leave to cool on a wire rack.
4. For the praline, measure the sugar and 4 tablespoons of water into a saucepan. Stir slowly over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and you have a clear syrup. Remove the spoon and stop stirring, then increase the heat and boil until the syrup is pale golden. Add the hazelnuts and swirl the syrup in the pan to coat them, then quickly tip the mixture on to the lined baking sheet. Leave to cool and harden into a praline. Break the praline up on a wooden board and chop into very small pieces.
5. For the buttercream icing, dissolve the coffee in the hot water and stir until smooth. Measure the butter into a large bowl. Beat until smooth with an electric hand whisk, then add the coffee mixture and the sugar, a little at a time, and beat until smooth, light and fluffy.
6. Sit one cake on a plate. Spread with half the icing and sprinkle with half the praline. Sit the second cake on top and spread with the remaining icing, then sprinkle over the rest of praline. Cut into slices to serve.
Prepare ahead: Can be assembled and iced up to a day ahead and decorated with the praline up to 8 hours before serving.
Freeze: The cake, without icing, freezes well.
