STRAWBERRY & CREAM SANDWICH SPONGE | FRUIT RECIPES | JAMIE ...



Strawberry & cream sandwich sponge | Fruit recipes | Jamie ... image

This classic cake is, of course, named after Queen Victoria, the only monarch to reign longer than the current Queen. It’s relatively easy to make but does have a few quirks: you need to get as much air into it as possible, and be mindful of its sensitivity to variations in heat. Know your oven well and invest in an oven thermometer!

Total Time 50 minutes

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

225 g unsalted butter (at room temperature) plus extra for greasing
225 g white caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large free-range eggs
225 g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 splash of milk
200 ml double cream
1 vanilla pod
1½ tablespoon of icing sugar plus extra for dusting
250 g fresh strawberries

Steps:

    1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 4. Grease and line the bases of 2 round 20cm sandwich tins.
    2. Cube up the butter, then cream together with the sugar in a large mixing bowl until pale and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
    3. Beat the eggs, then gradually mix into the creamed butter and sugar. Sift, then fold in the flour, baking powder and ¼ of a teaspoon of sea salt with a large metal spoon until just incorporated (don’t overmix).
    4. Stir in 1 splash of milk to loosen the batter, then evenly divide it between the 2 cake tins.
    5. Bake the cakes in the oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. To test, insert a skewer into the middle of a cake; it’s ready when the skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
    6. Once completely cool, pour the cream into a large bowl, scrape in the vanilla seeds and whisk until you have soft peaks.
    7. Sift in icing sugar and gently fold through. Place one of the cakes on your chosen plate or cake stand and spread over the vanilla cream, but not right to the edges or it will spill later.
    8. Hull and roughly slice the strawberries, then scatter on top of the second cake. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with extra strawberries, if you like.

SPONGE CAKE RECIPE - NYT COOKING
The streamlined mixing technique for this versatile cake, which is leavened with only eggs, borrows from génoise, chiffon cake and a style of roll cakes popular in Asian bakeries. The result is an airy, light-as-a-feather texture that’s also moist, thanks to the addition of oil. Bake it in a jelly roll pan to create a roulade, or in a 9-inch springform pan for a layer cake, but don’t use a nonstick pan, as the cake will collapse. The 9-inch cake needs nothing more than a little whipped cream on top. Any kind of macerated fruit would be perfect, but ultimately a bonus. (Watch Claire make this cake and two others on YouTube.)
