About the bake
This is classic Victoria sandwich cake is beautifully moist and simply delicious. To make alternative flavours, you could try adding cocoa powder or coffee and walnuts.
Method
Step 1:
Place all of the sponge ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until well mixed, for 2-3 minutes.
Step 2:
Place in 2 greased and bottom-lined 20cm (8 inch) sandwich tins.

Bake in centre of pre-heated oven 180° C (160 °C fan, gas mark 4) for 30-35 minutes.
Step 4:
Turn out, remove paper and cool. Sandwich with jam and place chosen icing ingredients in bowl and mix until smooth. Use to fill the cake and, if liked, spread or pipe over the top.
Step 5:
Alternatively you could dust the cake with icing sugar.

Very good guys, I'm definitely using this recipe again. I accidentally put to much baking powder in by mistake, I used a table spoon instead of tea spoon but I honestly really enjoyed it. I’m 12 I’m hoping to sign into the junior bake of 2021!!!!
