The bestest queen victoria sponge cake
Cakes
The Queen Victoria Sponge Cake is a most popular cake in England, a 2 layer butter cake filled with raspberry (or strawberry jam) and whipped cream or buttercream. Then the top layer is usually sprinkled with powdered sugar. Here is my version. <br />Please note that the unusual way of mixing the cake (butter with flour first) yields a tender, spongy cake. This cake is adapted from Dan Lepard’s all purpose easy butter cake. <br />For those of you who want to know more about the history behind this cake, <br />Britishfood.about.com says: "The Victoria Sponge was named after Queen Victoria as reputably it was her favourite cake. Anna, the Duchess of Bedford who has been given credit for introducing the charming art of the Afternoon Tea was Lady in Waiting to the Queen who quickly adopted the custom serving sponge cakes as part of the tea."
