Bake for 30 mins or until golden and springy. Don't open the oven before 25 mins cooking time has passed.
6
When they're ready, cool the sponges for a few mins, then tip out of the tins and cool completely on a wire rack.

Sandwich the second sponge on top.

Sieve the icing sugar into a large bowl.
