I don't own two 8-inch sandwich tins, so I used a 10-inch one. After baking the sponge I sliced it horizontally, then vertically, then I put the halves on top of one another (clever, right?). It felt a bit silly - doing so much work and getting just half a cake out of it? I contemplated just slicing the cake once and putting one layer of curd between the slices, but... the multi-layerness seemed one of the best thing about this recipe. After the assembly he cake looked like something that afternoon teas had been invented for - golden, crumbly and dripping with icing. I absolutely loved the tangy, citrus-y bite in each ingredient, and the sponge was melt-in-your mouth delicious. And oh - I used homemade curd from the lemon cupcakes recipe, swapping sugar for honey, just as suggested.

I think perhaps we should go into partnership and offer to buy them out....
