(makes 6 large lamingtons)

If you prefer purchase sheets of sponge cake but homemade is always better. Your supermarket may stock cake flour and, as it is lighter in gluten than all-purpose flour, it is worth looking out for when sponge making.

This recipe forms a part of the Boysenberry Lamingtons recipe.
