Victoria Sponge Birthday Cake Recipe
Ingredients
To make this delicious Victoria Sponge Birthday Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 225g softened unsalted butter
- 225g caster sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 225g self-raising flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons of milk
- 1 jar of raspberry jam
- Icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
To make the Victoria Sponge Birthday Cake, you will need to preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Grease two 8-inch round baking tins with butter and line the bottom of each tin with greaseproof paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the vanilla extract and milk and mix until combined.
Divide the cake batter evenly between the two prepared tins, and spread out evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spread the raspberry jam over one of the cakes, ensuring it reaches to the edges. Place the other cake on top, and sift icing sugar over the top of the cake to decorate.
