I used to have a delicious one years ago but can't find it now. Has anybody got a fool proof one that I can use? Thankyou

6oz soft butter plus extra for greasing
6oz golden caster sugar
6oz self raising flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
3 eggs, beaten
2oz dessicated coconut
2 tbsp coconut cream

Buttercream icing:
10oz icing sugar
4oz soft butter
3 tsp coconut cream

5tbp raspberry jam

Preheat oven to 180c/Gas Mk 4. Grease and baseline 2 x 8" sandwich tins. Mix butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs until smooth. Add coconut & c/cream. Divide mixture between tins and smooth the tops. Bake for 25mins until even and firm. Loose the edges and leave in tins for 5mins, turn out on wire rack. Allow to cool & peel off paper.

For the icing: Mix icing sugar in a bowl with the butter & c/cream and beat well until smooth. Spread the jam over one sponge, cover with just less than half of the buttercream and put the other sponge on top. Swirl the remaining buttercream over the top of the cake.

I haven't made one of these for months!
