Victoria Sandwich

Here is a simple traditional cake my little sister and I made

You will need

Ingredients

• 175g (6oz) Unsalted butter, softened plus extra to grease
• 175g (6oz) Caster sugar
• 3 medium eggs
• 175g (6oz) Self - raising flour, sifted

For the filling

• Raspberry or strawberry Jam
• Icing or caster sugar

Add the butter and caster sugar to a large bowl and using a hand-held electric whisk, beat together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. If the mixture starts to curdle add one table spoon of flour. 

Fold in the flour using a metal spoon 

You can either grease two sandwich tin cases or use one deep tin and cut the cake in two like I did.

For the tin case, you will need to cover it in greaseproof paper and then place in the oven at 190 C (170 C fan oven) for 20-25 minutes.

Once ready leave to cool on a wire rack. Slice the cake in half and add the filling, sandwich the two halves together and dust with icing sugar.
