Method

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs gradually. If starting to split add a little flour. Add rest of flour and mix in milk gently. Take care not to overwork.

Take four dariole moulds that have been well greased. Put a spoonful of jam in the bottom, then divide the sponge on top by piping from a disposable piping bag. Cover securely with a piece of silicone paper and then foil.

Steam on high setting for 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Cool slightly and turn out.

Serve with vanilla custard or pouring cream.
