Victoria cake

Enjoy a cake that the queen herself couldn't resist! Victoria cake or, as it is called at home, Victoria sponge cake is a very tasty and tender cake. It received its name in honor of Queen Victoria. The cake consists of two butter sponges sandwiched with jam and cream. Strawberry jam is traditionally used, but whatever you have in stock will work. And instead of butter cream, you can also make butter cream, but then the cake will turn out to have more calories. So the choice is yours.

Very delicate and pleasant taste, with an alluring sourness inside. I usually use cherry jam (jam) in my preparation. This gives an incredibly beautiful color to the composition, a subtle aroma and greatly stimulates the appetite. I can’t help but note the beauty of the cake - the combination of white (cream) and red is simply solemn! I'm cooking for the Christmas holidays. Very easy and unpretentious to prepare. The main thing is just to bake a biscuit and 90% of the success is already in your pocket! Bon appetit!
