VICTORIA SPONGE CAKE RECIPE - NYT COOKING

Victoria Sponge Cake Recipe - NYT Cooking image

This traditional British layer cake is made up of two buttery, tender spongecake rounds that sandwich a thick layer of jam and, often, a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. It’s a simple, homey confection that works as well with a cup of afternoon tea as it does for dessert. Feel free to substitute other flavors of tart jam for the raspberry. Apricot and blackberry work particularly well.

Total Time 50 minutes

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

12 tablespoons/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), softened, more for greasing pan
1 1/3 cups/166 grams all-purpose flour
3 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons/175 grams granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 cup/120 milliliters raspberry jam, more to taste
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees and place a rack in the center. Grease and line the bottoms of two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, then beat in milk, scraping down sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in flour mixture until combined, then scrape into prepared cake pans, smoothing the top.
Bake cakes until golden brown and springy, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then unmold them onto a wire rack to cool completely, flat side down.
Transfer one cake (the less attractive one) to a serving platter, and spread jam evenly on top. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip cream, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla just until it holds stiff peaks. Dollop about half the cream on top of jam, then top with remaining cake. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve immediately, with the extra whipped cream on the side.

MARY BERRY VICTORIA SPONGE SANDWICH RECIPE | BBC2 LOVE T…

As classic as they come, this Victoria sponge recipe from the nation's Queen of Baking is hard to beat.
From thehappyfoodie.co.uk
Cuisine British

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4. Lightly grease two 20cm (8in) deep loose-bottomed sandwich tins and line the bases with non-stick baking paper.

Measure the sponge ingredients into a large bowl or freestanding mixer and beat for about 2 minutes with an electric whisk until beautifully smooth and lighter in colour. The time will vary according to the efficiency of the mixer.

Divide the mixture between the tins and level the tops. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until well risen and golden and the cakes are shrinking away from the sides of the tins. The tops of the cakes should spring back when pressed lightly with a finger.

Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for a few moments, then run a palette knife around the edge of the tins to free the sides. Turn the cakes out, then peel off the paper and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

Choose the cake with the best top and spread the underside with jam. Put the other cake top downwards on a serving plate. Spread this cake carefully with the whipped cream. Sit the other cake on top (jam side touching the cream).

Sprinkle with sugar and cut into slices to serve.

Mary’s tips:

Can be made and assembled up to 8 hours ahead.

Keep cake wrapped in the fridge but serve at room temperature.

Cooked cakes freeze well.
