Victoria Sandwich

If you read my last post, you'll probably remember me saying that I was going to post a recipe for Victoria Sandwich Cake. Well, as promised, here is said recipe...

Ingredients

175g (6oz) Margarine
175g (6oz) Caster Sugar
175g (6oz) Self Raising Flour
3 Eggs (Beaten)
Pinch of Salt

Strawberry Jam
Whipped Cream (optional)

1. Beat margarine in a large bowl until soft/fluffy.

2. Add the sugar to the margarine, mix both together with a wooden spoon.

3. Beat three large eggs in a bowl, before adding them a little at a time to the margarine/sugar mixture, beating well inbetween each addition.

4. Sift the flower into the mix and gently stir in. (If the mix becomes too thick, add a drop of milk until it reaches a dropping consistency)

5. Add a pinch of salt and stir in.

6. Grease and line two sponge tins and divide the mixture between both.

7. Put in the oven for 27 minutes at 180C (160C FAN)

8. Take the sponges out of the oven, removing them from their tins (using a sharp bladed knide around the edges if necessary) Leave to cool on a wire rack for half an hour.

9. Spread Jam (I like to use almost a whole jar of Bon Maman Conserve) over one of the sponges and place the other on top, creating a sandwich. (you can add cream as well if you like!)

10. Dust with icing sugar and serve!


Happy Baking!
