A world away from the common or garden granny sponge, this is cool baking, Ginger & White style. We’ve swapped traditional strawberry jam for the zingy taste of gooseberry and elderflower, and we’ve shrunk the cakes because we believe good things come in the smallest packages.

Ingredients

  • sunflower oil, for greasing
  • 225 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 200 g caster sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6 and place a shelf in the centre of it. Grease the 12 holes of a muffin tin.

Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the elderflower cordial. Sift
