After countless requests I thought I would share with you my classic Victoria sponge cake recipe.. this is what I use for most of my cakes! My customers love it, and so do I.. best part is, you only need 4 simple ingredients.
Happy baking, and please do tag me in your photos over on Instagram! 🙂 @claireelizabethcreates
Ingredients
240g Butter or margarine
240g Caster sugar
240g eggs (approximately 4 medium eggs)
240g Self raising flour
Equipment
Large mixing bowl
Stand mixer or electric whisk (or wooden spoon!)
Sieve
Spatula
Two 7" sandwich tins lined with baking parchment
Method
Step 1.
Pre-heat your oven to 170-180 degrees centigrade
Step 2.
Soften the butter or margarine slightly (if not already at room temperature)
Step 3.
Add the caster sugar, and beat together the butter and sugar for around 5 minutes until light and fluffy
Step 4.
Crack the eggs into a jug, and gradually add to the mixture one at a time, beating for around 1 minute before the next egg is added
Step 5.
Using the sieve, sift the flour into the mixture and gradually fold in with the spatula, being careful not to overmix
Step 6.
Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and bake for 20-30 minutes until well risen, golden brown, and a skewer inserted comes out clean
Step 7.
Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a baking rack to cool completely before decorating- have fun!
