The May issue of Country Living UK inspired this Copy Cat Challenge.
I wanted to do something a bit different for this month's Copy Cat Challenge. In honor of Queen Elizabeth II and her Diamond Jubilee, I made a Victoria Sandwich. A Victoria Sandwich is an English teatime treat favored by Queen Victoria.
I found three recipes, and I was not crazy about the first one I tried. I am trying another one tomorrow, and if I like it better I will post it, promise! We have been invited to a Diamond Jubilee party this weekend, and if I can perfect this recipe I will share a Victoria Sandwich at the party.
My layers are thinner because I do not have a real sandwich tin that is only 7" in diameter. I want to find a recipe for an 8" cake pan.
A Victoria Sandwich is basically a sponge cake with jam between the layers. I used strawberry jam in mine.
Are you sharing your latest copy cat with Debbie?
Until next time...
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious! Great job with the copycat. That close up picture is calling my name or trying to jump into my mouth, one or the other! lol
ReplyDeleteMouthwatering! :) You really have the talent to make it to the spread of a home magazine Ricki. And btw, I forgot to thank you for participating in my Beautiful Sunday post. Thanks a lot. You made me happy.
ReplyDeleteYummm Great copy cat.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this. I tired to do food once for this challenge. I thought so easy right! Oh, my gosh my food looked horrible!! I will not think how easy it is again to create magazine cover worthy food! LOL I am following you too.:)

I think that is the most delicious copycat project I've ever seen! : )
ReplyDeleteWell it looks yummy. I hope you find a recipe that works for you - I'd like to give it a try too. I'm trying to think of something to cook for the Jubilee too - maybe Scotch Eggs.
ReplyDeleteDebbie's magazine challenge is my favorite link party and I missed it because my week flew by so fast. I have got to prepare for it ahead of time.
