Ingredients:
  • 500.00 ml plain flour
  • 0.63 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 10.00 gm baking powder
  • 1.20 gm fine table salt
  • 53.75 gm caster sugar
  • 125g butter, chilled, chopped
  • 130.00 gm buttermilk
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 4.40 gm vanilla extract
  • 252.50 gm thickened cream, whipped
  • 300g raspberries
  • 12.00 gm pure icing sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C and prepare a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Combine flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, and butter in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and make a well in the center.
  • In a jug, mix buttermilk, egg, and vanilla, then pour into the flour mixture. Gently combine with a flat-edged knife until just mixed. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead until soft. Shape into a 2.5cm-thick round and cut out 6 rounds with a 7cm cutter. Arrange on a baking tray.
  • Brush the tops of the cakes with refreshing cold water, then bake them for 15 to 18 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden color. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice the cakes horizontally. Place the bottom halves on plates. Add a dollop of cream, sprinkle with raspberries, then cover with the top halves of the cakes. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
