easy to make victoria sponge cake





Ingredients





4 eggs


8oz caster sugar


8oz butter


8oz self-raising flour


1 teaspoon vanilla extract





Method





As mentioned above, have the butter so soft it has almost collapsed鈥he best way to achieve this is to put the butter in the mixing-bowl and then into the microwave for 10 seconds or so. Add the sugar and beat until white and fluffy. Add each egg individually and beat again. Add the vanilla extract, then fold in the sieved flour gently. Divide the mixture between two sponge tins that have been lined with a greaseproof disc and bake on GM5 or the equivalent for about 25 minutes. Check after fifteen minutes and swap the tins round in the oven if one is getting cooked faster than the other. Open the door carefully so as not to let cold air rush in, which might cause the cakes to sink.





Cool on a wire rack - I always put a double thickness of kitchen towel under each sponge before turning out onto a rack, so it doesn't either stick or come away with grid-marks.





When cold, fill with strawberry jam and double cream for a traditional Victoria Cream Sponge.





Otherwise, do what you want with it - butter icing, fudge icing, flavoured cream, chocolate fondant - anything you like.





For the world's most decadent chocolate cake, make a Victoria sponge, but instead of using 8oz self-raising flour, use only 4oz and add 4oz sieved cocoa. Then carry on as before. This sponge won't rise quite as much as the plain variety, since there's less raising agent (because less flour), but it makes a very grown-up cake and I don't bother to add extra baking powder because I don't think it needs it.





Fill and cover with chocolate icing: melt 3oz butter and add 8oz icing sugar and 4oz cocoa. Beat together, adding a little cold coffee if the mixture is too thick. Don't over-beat, or it will become too light in colour. Melting the butter before adding the cocoa and icing sugar gives a fudgier result.
Stop all that mucking about baking cakes lark, get down to M%26amp;S where they come in two different sizes and buy one of each. Spend the time you saved on the baking with your feet up eating the little one and present the other one as ';all my own work';. Easy.

If the mixture is too think add a little milk, if too runny add a little more flour. you know when its the right consistance when you can hold spoon full upside down adn it take 3seconds top fall off. Put in a greased cake tin and cook in an medium hot oven for about half an hour. you can tell if its done by listening too it, if tou can hear it bubble alot then its not done.
6 oz each of caster sugar, self raising flour and softened butter. 3 eggs. make it bigger or smaller but always keep the eggs half the amount of the other ingredients, then it fits any tin you may have.





Cream the sugar and butter together till light in colour. add the eggs slowly, a bit at a time as you mix. Then slowly fold in the flour, again, a bit at a time. Use a metal spoon to do this. It works best.





Pour half mixture into each of two sandwich tins and bake at 180 or gas mk 4 for about 25 mins. Once cooled, fill with whatever you like - fresh cream and berries is a particularly good one. Also, you can dust with icing sugar over top and maybe use some fresh berries if you like, or put one of those paper plate liners with stamped out patterns on top of cake then sift icing sugar over the top. When you lift the paper you have a pretty impressive cake.





Good luck and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
