got this recipe off here and its brilliant!
4 eggs.
6 oz / 175grmsCornflour
6 oz / 175grms Sugar
Heaped teaspoon Baking powder
2 Tablespoons Boiling water.

Separate Eggs. Beat whites till stiff. Add sugar and water mixing in.
Add yolks and fold the dry ingredients.
Bake in two 9 inch cake tins. greased and bottoms lined.

Bake 350 F / 180C for 20 mins. Cool on a cake rack.

NB don't try making these in sponge tins cos they will over flow. once filled this makes a huge deep sponge.

Have never had a fail.

Edited to add I just use one large cake tin for this mixture

This. And if you keep your eggs in the fridge get them out the night before, it rises more if eggs are at room temp.

A true sponge has no butter/fat, a Victoria sandwich has butter and is a bit less tricky and more robust for filling.
