Method

Step 1 of 3

Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas 4). Put the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl, and whisk with an electric hand whisk for 5 minutes, or until pale and creamy. Add a few drops of the vanilla extract.

Step 2 of 3

Sift in the flour, a little at a time, folding each batch in gently before adding more. Pour the mixture into the lightly greased cake tin. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until lightly golden. To test, pierce the centre of the cake with a skewer - if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked. Remove from the oven, and leave to cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes, then loosen the edges with a knife and leave to cool completely.

Step 3 of 3

Meanwhile, put the butter in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until creamy. Sift in the icing sugar, beat well, then add a few drops of vanilla extract and beat again. Remove the cake from the tin and slice in half horizontally. Cover the bottom half with the buttercream and the top half with the lemon curd. Sandwich together and serve.
