Perfect Victoria Sponge Recipe
Ingredients:
115g soft butter, plus extra for greasing
115g caster sugar
2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
115g self-raising flour
200g good-quality strawberry jam (preferably homemade)
227g pot Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream
Icing sugar to dust
Method:
Preheat the oven to 190C/fan170C/gas 5. Grease and base line a 15cm springform cake tin. Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth, pale and creamy.
Gradually beat in the eggs (if the mix starts to split, beat in a tablespoon of flour). Fold in the flour and add 1 tbsp water until you have a thick dropping consistency. Spoon the mix into the cake tin and bake for 30 minutes, until the cake is golden and feels spongy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
