Can You Bake a Classic Victoria Sponge?

Each year we invite you to enter your perfect Victoria Sponge Cake into the Tarvin village Fete competition. All you have to do is follow the recipe (Mary Berry, BBC Food) below and bring your cake to the Community Centre by 10:30 am on Saturday 15th June 2019.

This Competition is open to three age groups: 5 to 9 years; 10 to 14 years and adults.

RECIPE
225g butter/soft margarine
225g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
225g castor sugar
4 eggs
Rasberry jam

Preheat the oven to 190˚c (170˚c fan) or Gas 5.
Grease and line 2x20cm/8inch sandwich tins
In a large bowl, beat all the ingredients to a smooth, soft batter.
Divide the mixture equally between the tins. Smooth the surface and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and the cake springs back when gently pressed. Leave to cool. Spread raspberry jam on the top of one cake and place the other cake on top. Dust lightly with caster sugar.
