You can also use that strawberry jam in this jammy buns recipe. Jammy buns are buns with a delicious jammy center and were enjoyed by the boarding school girls after lacrosse mathches.

Chocolate Sponge Cake with Cream Filling

Sponge cakes are a popular dessert in British cuisine. One particular reference to sponge cakes we remember is from The Mystery of the Strange Bundle in the Five Find outers series:

“It was a very fine tea- hot, new-made scones, sweet and buttery, strawberry jam, bread and butter, and potted salmon and shrimp paste, small ginger buns, shortbread biscuits, and, of course, the large chocolate sponge, which had a thick cream filling.”
Doesn’t that sound delicious? Here’s the recipe.
