Recipe Introduction
For the Central England Co-operatives “Treating Mum” campaign, here is my classic Victoria Sponge Recipe - served with a bottle of elderflower and white grape juice. Perfect for treating Mum this Mothers Day.
Cooking Directions
- Preheat the oven to 190c then cream the Sugar and Butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Sieve in the Self Raising Flour, Baking Powder and crack in the Eggs. Thoroughly mix everything together until smooth.
- Split the mixture into two circular baking tins lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes (or until golden brown).
- After the cooking time, stick a knife into the sponges and if it comes out clear, they're done. Remove from the tins and cool on a rack.
- Meanwhile, make the Butter Icing by mixing the 100g of Butter until smooth, then gradually add all of the Icing Sugar until thoroughly combined.
- Once the sponges are cooled, spread the Jam onto the base of one sponge and the Butter Icing onto the base of the other sponge. Then sandwich together.
- Dust the top of the Victoria Sponge with Icing Sugar and enjoy.
