WI Victoria Sponge

WI Victoria Sponge by Barbi Colson

A mixture with 4 eggs will make a 2 layer 8” cake.

1. Add the eggs, flour, Lurpak® and caster sugar into a bowl.
2. Add the baking powder on top and cover with the water and let it fizz.
3. Use a mixer to mix everything together. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again.
4. Divide between two 8” baking tins, cook in the centre of a pre-heated oven at 180ºC until golden brown (around 20-25 minutes)
5. Fill with jam and sprinkle with caster sugar – bliss!

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 200g Lurpak® butter
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 200g self raising flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp ‘hand hot’ tap water

Please note:The ingredient amounts are based on an average egg’s weight. For exact measurements, please crack all 4 eggs into a bowl, weigh and then use an equivalent amount for the butter, caster sugar and flour.
