I love baking and trying out new recipes for cakes and treats but I always find myself returning to this classic Victoria sponge cake. The cake is so easy and simple to make, it's almost unbelievable how incredible it tastes. I often use this recipe to make celebration cakes for family and friends and it always receives lots of compliments.
You will need:
- 6oz Sugar
- 6oz Self raising flour
- 1tsp Baking powder
- 6oz Butter (plus extra for butter cream filling)
- 3 Eggs
- 3tbsp Raspberry jam
- Icing sugar
Step 1
Pre heat oven to 180 degrees and line two baking tins with butter.
Step 2
Sift the self raising flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar, eggs and butter and mix together until smooth.
Step 3
Divide the mixture between the two tins and put in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and springy to touch.
Step 4
Leave the cakes in the tins for five minutes to cool. Then carefully remove the cakes from the tins and place on a wire rack to cool for around 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Add the jam to one side of the cake and mix together some butter and icing sugar to make butter cream to the other side.
Step 6
Finally sandwich the cakes together and decorate as desired.
