Victoria Sponge Cake

How to Making Recipes Victoria Sponge Cake using 13 ingredients and 16 steps

Victoria Sponge Cake - A Victoria Sponge was the favorite sponge cake of Queen Victoria, and has since become a tried-and-true recipe for tea-time sponge cakes. Victoria Sponges are generally filled with jam, and are undecorated on the top, but you can serve each piece with a dollop of whipped cream, or shake some powdered sugar over the top if you'd like. Probably the most iconic British cake, a good Victoria sponge should be well-risen, moist, and as light as air. Serve dusted with sifted confectioners' sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.

I fell in love with Victoria Sponge on my first trip to England. From the first time I saw this moist, yet fluffy vanilla sponge cake filled with cream and jam, I knew it was love. Before the Victoria sponge, British sponge cakes were leavened only by eggs hand-whisked with sugar until foamy and thick. Cream the butter and the sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, a little. Thank you and good luck
