Here’s a recipe for a Victoria Sponge which could well be the recipe we will use for next year’s show.

Recipe for Victoria Sponge

Ingredients
100g (4oz) butter, softened
100g (4oz) caster sugar
2 eggs
100g (4oz) self raising flour, sifted
45ml (2 tbsp) strawberry jam
Icing sugar, sifted
Method
1. Prepare two 18cm (7inch) sandwich
tins
2. Cream butter and sugar together
until very pale in colour, light in
texture and fluffy
3. Beat in eggs, one at a time, adding
15ml (1 tbsp) fl our with each
4. Gently fold in remaining fl our with a
metal spoon
5. Transfer to prepared tins and
smooth tops with a knife.
6. Bake at 180C/350F/Gas 4 for 25

golden brown and firm
7. Leave in tins for 2 - 3 minutes. Turn
out on to a wire cooling rack
8. When cold sandwich together with
strawberry jam
9. Dust cake with icing sugar
There was some talk after this years show whether or not a Victoria Sponge should have cream in it. We’re not sure yet what the final recipe will be, but here’s one for butter cream which is likely to be the filling to be used along with jam. No decision will be made yet so please let us Know what you think.

Butter Cream Recipe

50g (2oz) butter, softened
115g (4oz) icing sugar, sifted
15ml (1 tbsp) fresh milk
few drops of vanilla essence
Method
1. Beat butter until soft
2. Gradually beat in sugar and milk
3. Continue beating until light and
