6.   Place the tins on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
7.   Cakes are done when golden brown and coming away from the edge of the tins and springy to the touch.  Remove from
      the oven and set aside to cool.
8.   When cooled, spread jam over one cake, top with the second cake and sprinkle with some caster sugar
