Anyone fancy a slice?
In Waitrose they sell ‘homemade’ ones for almost £4.00
I don’t have the strength to price up my version but it is certainly cheaper.
I used Stork and the all in one method so it was relatively quick to make.
Butter for the butter icing of course.
Yummy! I haven't had a slice of a Victoria sandwich for such a long time.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....maybe I'll bake this afternoon instead of sewing. Wish you lived closer then I could have a piece of yours!
Oooh - me me me me me!!! I want a slice! (please) A BIG slice!! (please). It looks divine ....
ReplyDelete:)
ps. I so do eat chox for breakfast, usually only on high (hi?) days and holidays.
pps. Fab sock monkey link, thanks .... sorry I didn't reply I've been massively lazy in the email replying stakes. Too many chox and cakes ... my fingers have pudged right up and I can hardly hit the right keys nyamroe .... ;)
I'll have a piece please! Not too big - I'm happy to share it. What kind of jam is in it?
ReplyDeletePop the kettle on, I'll be over in a few minutes. Yuuuuum!
ReplyDeletei would love to share a slice of your cake. it looks perfect and i bet it taste damn good too. What time is afternoon tea then?
ReplyDeleteginny
Yes please! And what a beautiful plate.
ReplyDeleteoh if only you were round the corner!
ReplyDeletethat's a yes please from me too : )
That's a great looking sponge Lynn, I use Stork too, but I use the creaming method! x
ReplyDeleteOoh yum! I'll have a slice too please. Must try and bake one myself.
ReplyDeleteSave a piece for me, maybe I'll make one for myself this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a home-made cake, I wonder who's home Waitrose's cakes are baked in ?!
I'm on my way round!
ReplyDeleteA slice for me please! XXX
ReplyDeletewe were out today for coffee and the darling man had a piece of victorian sandwich and it looked so georgous. I tasted some of the crumbs. It was georgous too. If you are in east sussex, go to the hen on the gate organic farm shop just outside 5 ashes and have a piece yourself.
ReplyDeletea victoria sandwich?! I don't even know what it is and I'm excited about it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that looks SO DELICIOUS! =)
ReplyDeleteOh go on then, you've twisted my arm! Never could resist you baking.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can be confident that your one tastes nicer. I've had the Waitrose version and it is VERY sickly - not at all what a Victoria Sponge ought to taste like.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments to Ginny and I over the last few weeks. It has been tough leaving the studio but the new phase starts from Wednesday.....
Love Al x
ooooooh yummy!
ReplyDeleteNow why do my cakes never look that good..
ReplyDeleteI made a similar cake last weekend and it has been relegated to the bin.. so much for my baking!
