Sponge Cake Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer for about 3-5 minutes.

3. Add Eggs

Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

4. Add Flour and Milk

Sift in the self-raising flour and gently fold it into the mixture. Add the milk and mix until just combined.

5. Bake the Sponge

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool the Sponge

Once baked, remove from the oven and let the sponge cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Golden Syrup Sauce Preparation

7. Combine Ingredients

In a saucepan, combine the Golden syrup, water, and lemon juice.

8. Heat the Sauce

Place the saucepan over low heat and stir until the syrup has dissolved completely and the mixture is smooth.

9. Simmer the Sauce

Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

10. Serve

Once the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and pour it over slices of the sponge cake just before serving.
