Granny's Victoria sponge
Ingredients
200g unsalted butter,
softened, plus extra for
greasing
200g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease and flour 2 x 20cm
4 medium eggs
200g self-raising flour, plus
extra for dusting
about 6 tbsp raspberry jam
sandwich tins. Place the butter, sugar and vanilla extract into a bowl
250ml double cream, whipped
and beat well to a creamy consistency. Slowly beat in the eggs, one
icing sugar, for dusting
by one, then fold in the flour and mix well.
2. Divide the mix between the cake tins, place into the oven and
bake for about 20 mins until risen and golden brown. The cakes
should spring back when gently pushed in the middle. When ready,
remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 mins in the tin, before
turning out onto a wire rack and cooling completely.
3. Spread the jam onto one cake and top with the cream. Sandwich
the cakes together and dust with icing sugar.
