Victoria Sponge Cake


By The more than occasional baker (Visit website)




I do like a good sponge cake and nothing beats a classic Victoria sponge cake especially in summer. I love the combination of strawberries and cream. The sponge was light and moist and the strawberries were delightfully sweet. This is a really simple recipe which works for me everytime. 

The Victoria sponge cake was named after Queen Victoria, who favoured a slice of the sponge cake with her afternoon tea.  It is often referred to simply as sponge cake.  A traditional Victoria sponge consists of jam sandwiched between two sponge cakes.  

The cake disappeared so quickly and I was told there wasn't enough to go round! Will just have to make more next time :)

Cake 
175g butter, softened 
175g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
175g golden caster sugar
3 eggs

Filling
raspberry jam
600ml double cream, whipped
Fresh strawberries
Icing sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 180C Grease and line the bases of 2 round sandwich tins.Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and add the butter, sugar and eggs. Beat well until smooth (I used my trusty KitchenAid) Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared tins and smooth the surfaces. (I weigh my tins so the cakes are evenly sized)Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until well risen and golden brown. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Sandwich the cakes together with the jam, whipped cream and straberries. Sprinkle with icing sugar on top and serve.
