For my one month anniversary, I decided to make a British cake since I married a British bloke, . What is more British than a Victoria sponge cake named after Queen Victoria. She enjoyed a slice of sponge cake with her afternoon tea (stated by wikipedia). Victoria sponge cake is made of two vanilla cakes with cream and strawberry jam in the center.
I followed a recipe from BBC good food website. (This recipe is all in metric units.) Sadly I haven't figured out my oven so the top layer did not bake entirely so the middle sunk. However, I think it turned out nicely for my first Victoria sponge cake.
We enjoyed it for dessert, and I've brought most of rest into my office to enjoy.
