Amy's Mini Victoria sponges - Amy's Mini Victoria sponges Had a disaster with a non-raising Victoria sponge for my nan's birthday and ended up making these lovely little cakes which were perfect for my nan as she can't eat a lot of cake. When I was attempting to find a different tin (which I still can't find) I rediscovered this beauty and knew I had to use it! Or more precisely, Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes. My dad has this little habit of collecting mini jars of honey and jams at airport lounges and hotels. He goes on business trips and flies every single week, so you can imagine how many of these jars could easily stack up over time.

To kick of my new series of weekly Bake off Bakes, I started with mini Victoria Sponge Cupcakes.

Mix the flour, sugar, softened butter, baking powder, and eggs in a bowl until smooth, using a hand mixer.

Once you have dusted the tops of the cakes with icing sugar, your mini Victoria sponge cakes are ready to be served! For the cupcakes, just use a regular three egg Victoria Sponge cake recipe but pop it in cup cake cases instead of large tins. Lightly grease the tins with butter. To make the cakes, cream the butter and caster sugar together until the mixture is pale and light. Thank you and good luck
