If you fancy having a go at making a basic Victoria sponge cake here's a tried and tested recipe that is one of Rachel's favourites:
8oz (200g) Self Raising Flour
8oz (200g) Baking Margarine or butter
8oz (200g) Caster Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
4 eggs
1tsp Vanilla essence
(Top tip: to make a chocolate cake add 1oz (25g) of cocoa powder to the above recipe and a splash of milk if the mixture seems too thick!)
Preheat the oven to 180/ Gas mark 5.
Grease your cake tins (2 x 8" round tins work well but any shape or size will be fine!)
Weigh all the ingredients into a bowl
Using an electric whisk beat them together until the mixture is smooth
Pour/ scoop the mixture into your tins, leveling out the top with the back of a knife
Bake for 20 minutes, if using a deeper tin the cake make take longer
Test the cake is cooked by inserting a skewer or sharp knife into the middle- if it comes out clean then the cake is cooked
Set aside to cool, after 10 minutes you can remove from the tin and place on a wire rack
For a classic Victoria Sponge you can fill the centre with chopped strawberries and whipped double cream, or you can use jam or lemon curd with buttercream if you prefer!
Enjoy a slice or 2!
