Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and make sure there's a shelf ready in the middle.
- Butter and line the bases of 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins with baking paper.
- Using electric beaters, beat together all the cake ingredients with a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Spoon into the tins and level the tops.
- Bake for 30 mins or until golden and springy. Don't open the oven before 25 mins cooking time has passed.
- When they're ready, cool the sponges for a few mins, then tip out of the tins and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make sure the top of one of the cakes is facing up as you'll want a smooth surface for the icing later on.
- When cool, put one sponge on a serving plate, then spread with jam.
- Sandwich the second sponge on top.
- Sieve the icing sugar into a large bowl.
- Add the water or lemon juice, then stir until smooth and thick.
- Spread evenly over the top and let it dribble over the sides.
- Scatter with the nuts and leave to set for a few mins before cutting.
