Hello everybody!
Happy Bank Holiday Monday!
What better way to enjoy this day than doing some baking! Especially as the weather is dull.
Yesterday I made white chocolate chip cookies, you can find the recipe on my previous blog.
I'm really enjoying baking at the moment, there's such a positive and fun feeling about it.
Today I decided to make a good old traditional Victoria Sponge Cake, so if you would like to make this...
Tools...
1. A large mixing bowl
2. An electric whisk
3. An icing spatula
4. Two cake tins
5. A cooling rack
6. Grease proof paper
Ingredients...
1. 200g soft butter
2. 200g caster sugar
3. 4 eggs
4. 200g self raising flour
5. 1tsp baking powder
6. 2tbsp milk
Icing
100g butter
140g Icing sugar
Raspberry or strawberry jam of your choice
The Method...
Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius Gas Mark 3 325 Degrees Fahrenheit
Line your cake tins with grease proof paper
Cream together the butter and sugar
Add in the eggs and mix well
Gradually add in the flour, baking powder and milk mix until completely smooth
Separate the mixture into your tins ensuring a smooth and even finish
Bake for 20 minutes
Transfer the cakes carefully onto your cooling rack
Leave to cool completely before icing
For icing, mix together the icing sugar and butter until you have a thick and smooth paste
Use the spatula or a spoon to distribute the icing onto one of the cake bases
Spread a generous layer of your chosen jam on to the other cake base
Carefully place the jam cake on top of the iced bottom cake
Sprinkle with icing sugar
Enjoy!
I hope you enjoy making this cake as much as I did, it went down a treat and was a massive hit in our house!
As always, have a wonderful week and catch up soon guys!
Love Ree
