9. Spoon a little of topping onto the top of the cake and place the two halves on top to form 'wings'

chef notes:

The name derives from the fact that the top layer is sliced off, cut in
two and placed on top to look like wings.

Always sieve flour etc. onto a sheet of greaseproof paper and then put it into your bowl, this will save time and is less messy.

To this basic mixture some currants or chocolate chips may be added.
