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!

Wow this looks so amazing!! I am dieting and it is nearing dinner time so I'm about to jump through the computer and eat all of your cake!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteDeve essere buono!!!Baci,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteWhat a delish looking cake..I too agree raspberry is the best choice..yummy..what kind of tea did you have with it? A flavored tea or a breakfast blend?
ReplyDeleteI would never take the time to make this cake, but oh does it look yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteYUM
ReplyDeleteOh Ricki, that looks delicious! Call me strange, but I much prefer a cake like this over a rich chocolate one.
ReplyDeleteYOu have tea every afternoon? Yet another reason I think you are wonderful. It is such a civilized tradition. The cake looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious! You are very patient and it paid off!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

ReplyDeleteI say, very nicely done indeed. (posh English accent) .... My in-laws also have tea every day.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry Jam? Save a slice for me please.
ReplyDeleteWell that must have been fun to eat it while you were busy mastering the final. Looks great Ricki!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks great! How have I never heard of a Victoria sandwich? I love having tea, its a fun tradition and I don't do it often enough!
ReplyDeleteI 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. :)
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeletePaper 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.
OMG, my mouth is watering !!!
ReplyDeleteIt is hot here in New York now! We don't have central air, a few window units and fans.....uggggghhhh..
