Success!!! *finally*

After trying several Victoria sandwich recipes, I finally succeeded in getting it just right.  You can read my previous post about these cakes here.


This is the recipe that guaranteed my success.  It might seem a bit tedious adding the beaten eggs one teaspoon at a time, but that is the best trick, especially for a beginner like me.


I also used 6" sandwich tins and parchment paper to bake my cakes.

I used raspberry jam for the filling.  Raspberry seems to be the traditional choice rather than other flavors.

The cake truly is springy and wonderful.

We always have tea every afternoon.  We rarely have something this extravagant, though. What have you been doing this afternoon?  


Until next time...

Blessings!

  2. I have been yakking on the phone and eating cookies this afternoon...that doesn't sound nearly as civilized as tea and Victorian sandwiches! It took me a second to realize the size of them...so neat!

  6. Oh Ricki, that looks delicious! Call me strange, but I much prefer a cake like this over a rich chocolate one.

  15. I saw the photo and said yum, English jam cake. My afternoon is not nearly as fun. Heading out to PT and then stopping by Staples for some mailers. I'll be thinking about a piece of that while I am out. :)

  16. This looks Scrumptious! I like tea in the afternoon in the winter and when I have a cupcake on hand (quite frequently) I will have to give this a try.

    Paper Feather Dreamcatcher would be awsome! If you do give it a try I want to see! Thank you for your kind comments on my blog.
