I made a Victoria Sponge for our Royal Wedding tea party today. I used a recently posted recipe from The Kitchn and while it looked pretty, it was dry and disappointing. I spread strawberry preserves on the top of the bottom layer and topped that with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. After placing the top layer on the cake, I dusted everything is powdered sugar and our daughter found a perfect strawberry to grace the top of the confection.
Do you have a Victoria Sponge cake recipe that you would recommend?
Hmmmm...I am doing some detective work on a good recipe for this, will get back to you as soon as I find something promising! (I am already searching!)
ReplyDeleteVintage Cakes by Jane Brocket has a good recipe, and I think you'd like the rest of the book too. It's full of classic British recipes, lovely photographs, and the best American pancake recipe!
ReplyDeleteIt lools beautiful, though!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Mary Berry's Victorian Sandwich recipe? That's what I use.
