This cake, which could more properly be called sponge cake with filling, makes a handsome sight in the windows of confectioners’ shops. To those untrained in the art of baking, it might seem to be a very fancy dish, but it really isn’t at all difficult to make.

Make a sponge cake using the following ingredients and bake in a large baking pan (rectangular if possible) greased with butter and dusted with flour. The cake should be half a finger high.
