I usually fill will Dickinson’s seedless raspberry jam and Dickinson’s lemon curd and ice with lemon buttercream. I make my icing dam and then spread a thin layer of the raspberry jam on the cake inside the dam using a small off-set spatula. Then I put a layer of about 1/3 of an inch of curd ontop of the jam. Then top with the next layer of cake. I do three layers of cake and 2 of the filling. This always gets rave reviews

Confused, made this recipe to a tee. Batter was so thick, cake didnt rise much and fell in the middle as it cooled.
