How to make a Victoria sponge cake?
A Victoria Sponge is made using one of two methods. The traditional method involves creaming the sugar and fat, then mixing thoroughly with beaten egg, then folding flour and raising agent into the mixture.
The modern method, and more commonly used these days, uses a food processor or an electric mixer, to whisk all the ingredients together until creamy. If you want to have a go yourself, head over to our Victoria Sponge Cake recipe.
Both methods are relatively quick and simple, and should produce consistent results if your oven’s up to scratch. The Victoria Sponge cake is the perfect place to start if you’re new to the world of baking.

How to store your Victoria sponge birthday cake
Make sure you store your cake in an airtight container, out of direct sunlight and in a cool place. Don’t keep in the fridge as this will dry the sponge out more quickly.
If the icing sugar absorbs into the cake before the whole cake is consumed, lightly dust some more on top.
This is the perfect choice for a birthday cake, an afternoon tea, a special celebration or just to eat yourself at home.
