VICTORIA SPONGE
In England all ingredients are weighed so the measurements in this recipe look a little strange. They also use self rising flour for cakes which is available in the is country but you rarely see it called for in recipes. I used to make this at Stapleford Park the country house hotel where I worked in England for our afternoon tea. I spent 3 years over there doing extensive R and D work on afternoon teas and have almost had my fill of scones and clotted cream. From High Tea in London to a Cream Tea in Devonshire, they all are different and they all are wonderfully restorative. This cake was named after Queen Victoria though we don't know if it was her favorite cake or not. It is used as a base for many cakes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and cream well. Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt and continue to mix well, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula occasionally. Fold in the sifted flour and pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch in the center, about 25 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. Unmold and, using a serrated knife, slice the cake in half horizontally into 2 layers.
- To make Victoria Sponge Sandwiches: Dust your rolling pin and work surface with confectioners' sugar, and roll the marzipan into a disk the size of the cake. Using a knife, trim the marzipan to fit the circumference of the cake exactly. Spread the cut-sides of the cake layers with raspberry jam and sandwich the marzipan layer in between the jam-dressed cake layers. Press all the layers together; then cut into wedges, to serve. Dust the wedges liberally with confectioners' sugar.

VICTORIA SPONGE CAKE
A Victoria Sponge was the favorite sponge cake of Queen Victoria, and has since become a tried-and-true recipe for tea-time sponge cakes. Victoria Sponges are generally filled with jam, and are undecorated on the top, but you can serve each piece with a dollop of whipped cream, or shake some powdered sugar over the top if you'd like.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Use a pastry brush to brush two 20cm round cake tins with a little butter, then line them with baking parchment (see How to Line a Cake Tin).
- Place a clean cloth under a large bowl - this will keep it steady as you mix. Weigh the butter, caster sugar and vanilla extract into the bowl.
- Make sure the whisk attachments are fitted securely in your hand whisk, then plug it in. Turn the whisk on to a medium speed and use it to whisk the ingredients together for 2 mins, or until they look smooth and creamy. Make sure you keep your fingers away from the whisk while it's turned on.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Continue whisking the butter and sugar and use your other hand to tip in the eggs, one at a time. Mix for 1 min more or until smooth.
- Weigh the flour and add it to the bowl. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until there are no pockets of flour and the cake mixture is smooth.
- Use your spatula to divide the cake mixture evenly between the cake tins, then spread the mixture to the edges and smooth the surface.
- Use oven gloves to place the tins on the middle shelf of the oven and set a timer for 22 mins. When the timer beeps, use your oven gloves to pull the oven rack out of the oven slightly but leave the cakes inside, they should be risen and golden brown. Insert a skewer into the centre of the cakes to check if they're cooked: if the skewer comes out dry, they're cooked; if there is any wet cake mixture on the skewer, the cakes need a little longer in the oven. If this is the case, return them to the oven and bake for another 5 mins, then check again.
- Use your oven gloves to carefully remove the cakes from the oven, place them on a cooling rack and allow to cool for 15 mins in the tin. When cool enough to handle, turn the cakes out onto the rack and remove the baking parchment, then leave until completely cool.
- Measure the double cream in a jug and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Measure the icing sugar in a measuring spoon and add it to the cream. Use your electric hand whisk to whip the cream until it is softly whipped, like clouds.
- Place one of the cakes on a plate or cake stand, then use a spatula or palette knife to spread the cream over the cake in an even layer. Put the blackberries on top of the cream, then put the other cake on top. Use a sieve or icing shaker to dust the cake with a little icing sugar. This is best served straight away but will keep in the fridge for two days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*.
- Cream butter and sugar, add the vanilla and then the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour between each one. Fold in the rest of the flour and cornstarch and enough of the milk to create a mixture that is a soft, dropping consistency.
- Alternatively, put all ingredients except milk in a food processor and process to a smooth consistency. Then add milk slowly and pulse to reach soft, dropping consistency.
- (Only include the baking powder if you're using the processor method.).
- Pour and scrape the batter into 2 - 8" round cake pans that have been buttered and lined with parchment or wax paper. Bake for about 25 minutes, until cakes are beginning to come away from the edges, are springy to the touch on top and a cake tester comes away clean. Leave the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 10 min before turning out and leaving to cool completely.
- When ready to eat the cake, put one layer on a plate, right-way up, spread with jam and scatter fruit on top. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top of frit. Sit the other cake on top and sprinkle with a tbsp or so of sugar.
