Classic Victoria Sponge

Written by Foodie Fee | Nov 22, 2017 4:57:44 PM

This is my Classic Victoria Sponge Cake recipe. You can bake this in two tins but I prefer to bake in one tin and cut the cake in half.

Recipe:

Ingredients

Measure

Self Raising Flour

225g

Castor Sugar

225g

Softened Unsalted Butter

225g

Baking Powder

1 tsp

Eggs

4 medium

Vanilla Extract

1 tsp

Milk

2 tbsp

 

Method:

1)  Pre-heat oven to 160°C

2)  Add all ingredients to food processor and blitz until a smooth batter is formed

3)  Line a baking tin with parchment paper and pour cake batter in

4)  Bake for approx. 30 mins

5)  Check that cake is firm to touch and the skewer comes out clean

6)  Leave to cool in tin for 10 mins then turn out onto wire rack

7)  Allow to cool completely

8)  Slice in half (you can use 2 separate baking tins but I find that the cake ends up dense and stodgy)

9)  Spread your choice of jam over the bottom half of the cake

10)  Add either whipped double cream or butter cream and sandwich the two parts together

11)  Sieve icing sugar over the top
