Ingredients
Passionfruit filling
Method
1.Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan. Grease and line base and sides of two 20cm sandwich pans.
2.Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until firm peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating constantly, until thick and glossy.
3.Using a large metal spoon, gently fold through yolks, then flour and boiling water, until just combined.
4.Divide mixture between prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cakes spring back when touched. Turn out onto a wire rack lined with a tea towel to cool.
5.When cooled, make Passionfruit Filling; whip together cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in passionfruit and spread over top of one sponge. Top with remaining sponge. Dust with icing sugar, slice and serve.
To make even lighter sponges, swap the 1 cup of self-raising flour for 3/4 cup (110g) cornflour, 1 tablespoon plain flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, then swap the 1/4 cup boiling water for 2 teaspoons golden syrup and 1 tablespoon boiling water.
