Victoria Sponge Bring a cake tin that is big enough to carry this home 150g softened butter or margarine 150g caster sugar 3 eggs 150g self raising flour Tip: You can make smaller amounts (or larger!) by using 50g of flour, sugar and butter for every egg you use. So, for example, you can reduce the quantity by using 2 eggs and 100g of the other ingredients.. 1) Set the oven at 180 C 2) Rub some butter around the insides of the two sandwich tins, and line the bases with circles of greaseproof paper. 3) Beat together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until mixture is pale and creamy. 4) Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time and stir until smooth. 5) Add flour and mix gently into the mixture. 6) Pour half of the cake mixture into each sandwich tin and smooth it level. 7) Place the tins in the oven for 20 to 25 min's 8) The cakes are done when they are well-risen and golden brown and feel springy in the middle. 9) Turn them out onto a wire rack to cool. Remove greaseproof paper. 10) When cool, sandwich together with jam Suitable for freezing Variations All in one method: Mix all the ingredients together (plus 1 tsp baking powder) in a food processor until just combined. Chocolate cake: To make a gorgeous chocolate cake, reduce the amount of flour by 25g and replace it with 25g cocoa powder. Add the cocoa into the mixture with the flour. Fairy cakes/buns: Use exactly the same mixture but pour the mixture into cake cases sitting in a bun tin and cook for 15 mins at 180 degrees C. Replace 25g of flour with cocoa powder for chocolate buns, a few drops of vanilla essence for plain buns, or why not experiment with chocolate chips and raisins, or even a few drops of natural food colouring for some crazy coloured buns!
