Rachel Allen's cake has no butter, even when it's filled with lots of lovely whipped cream, it still seems so light. A great recipe for a children's party

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Grease and line two round 20cm cake tins.
2. Beat the yolks and sugar for 2 minutes and blend in the water. Whisk until firm and creamy - this should take about ten minutes or so.
3. Fold in the flour and baking powder into the cake mixture.
4. Whip the egg whites until they hold a stiff peak and fold them in to the mixture before spooning into the cake tins.
5. Bake in a moderate oven for about 20 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Turn out and cool on a wire rack, and fill with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
6. Sieve icing sugar on top before serving.

in this recipe I'd use plain because not only does it have baking powder in as a raising agent but also whipped egg whites
You need selfraising flour most of the time unless stated, I would use selfraising flour it works better. Hope this help if your still interested
