EASY VICTORIA SANDWICH CAKE RECIPE
Hello everyone today I am showing you howto make the most gorgeous Victoria sandwich
cake, hi everyone it is becky here I hopeyou are all well thankyou so much to everyone
that has sent pictures and tweets of all thecakes you have been making of the recipe I
did it has been really cool to see that Ihave done a video and you guys have tried
it out it is really bizarre but I am so happythat the recipe has worked for you and that
you are all enjoying baking the cakes I ammaking. So today I am showing you how to make
a super simple vanilla sponge now my planis and hope for the future is we can use this
video and tell you guys to refer back to itwhen we make something a bit fancier and it
is just going to save time for future videosso when I want to make a vanilla sponge and
it has some sort of fancy icing on top wecan focus the video more on the icing than
repeating ourselves with making the cake againif that makes sense. Huh! Something really
sharp on the edge then cut my finger it washanging off there do not know what that is
our first step is to grease and line our Victoriasandwich cakes they are not cakes these are
tins not made the cakes yet, these are 8inchor 20cm round wide but they are 8 inch cake
tins, you can help here you go, so I get tohelp make sure you grease the edges please
I do not want my cake to stick to the caketin have you done all up the sides yes are
you sure yes actually that looks pretty goodright now I am just going to put that oh you
have not finished come back you have to putthe greaseproof paper in the bottom I thought
I was the camera man today well you are, thankyou,you are welcome. 2 greased tins lets make
our batter, that was really cheesy I couldhave gone 2 become 1 but that would not have
made any sense your spatula miss first stepis to cream together the sugar and butter
that has been brought to room temperatureI say that it should be room temperature we
just cream together the butter and sugar.Just keeping it simple today I am not using
the big stand mixer unfortunately I love thatthing but just using a spatula you guys can
use a wooden spoon or electric hand whiskif you have one there we go I am happy with
that time for the next step.We now add in the eggs one at a time, barry
would probably make some funny joke aboutstraight from the chickens bum at this point
but we are not going to do that today nowwe mix the eggs in one at a time, I am doing
quite well today no shell so far. Rememberif you do get any shell in you can just use
the egg shell to scoop it out, it works reallywell, oh she is so tired from that big walk,
I took her for a big walk he took them ona field and now they are pooped. To give it
a nice little kick I have got some vanillaextract here I am just going to add in a couple
of drops there we go that will be fine.Just going to mix that through, that is all
the wet ingredients done, it is time to addin the dry. So we sieve in our self raising
flour, just sieve it through and get it niceand fine get some air into our cake try not
to get it everywhere like me. You need tosieve in your baking powder at this point
too, I am using two teaspoons of baking powder,think our tub is running low I cannot get
two out, there we go, that is a tablespoonhaha you donut that is a tablespoon our cake
is going to be massive tell them what youdid I was looking thinking that is pretty
big I did not even think haha I used a tablespoonit has not gone in yet we can scoop it out,
my wife ladies and gentlemen we have now gonefrom having 6 teaspoons back to the normal
ratio right, yes, sorry.Now we can sieve in the baking powder and
self raising flour I have a feeling barryis not going to let me forget I have just
done that and you guys will not either buthey we are all beginners. Now we just gently
fold the flour and baking powder (we haveplenty of that) into the other ingredients.
Remember all the ingredients and the methodfor this recipe are on the my virgin kitchen
website along with one thousand other recipevideos so head on over and if you are already
there, hello!I was just thinking it could have been a lot
worse, why, well instead of using too muchbaking powder I could have added salt instead
of sugar, yeah that would not be good, thatwould have been a disaster. One thing I have
not done is pre heated my oven so I have mylittle sidekick here today little what? Maybe
not maybe I am the little chef I am quiteshort compared to me you are not so could
you please pre heat I have pre heated theoven what have you pre heated it to? 160 with
a fan which is 180 gas 4 350f I think, I willjust check it is on the fridge, yes, well
done you have been looking at the fridge alot, look at all those air bubbles. Wahoo
bring it closer come on what you doing, youdo not want to over mix this as you may end
up losing all the lovely air bubbles, thatyou have got in your mixture. I was just checking
the consistency of the mixture can you keepthe noise down a bit please that is what you
tell me and the girls shhh I am filming, Iam just checking it and it is meant to have
a slight consistency where it falls off thespoon and that is not falling off the spoon,
that is not a spoon that is a spatula oh mygosh it is not oh my gosh i am only saying
it as people in the comments will yeah whichis fair enough as it is not a spoon it is
a spatula but if you are using a spoon itshould drop off the spoon or spatula and this
is not dropping off so I will add a tiny bitof milk to give it that thinner consistency.
That is the consistency we like falling offthe spatula. So here are the cake tins from
earlier, time to get the mixture in. Justevenly divide the mixture between the two
tins I have let the mixture find its own wayto the tin give it a gentle shake on a flat
surface so it is nice and even or even gentlypush it out with a spatula or spoon.
All we do now is put these in the oven fortwenty to twenty five minutes but please keep
an eye on them as you do not want any burnttops.
Filling wise pimp up the cake how you liketoday we go for the classic Victoria sponge
we have got some raspberry or you could usestrawberry jam and we are also going to whip
up some cream, so I am just going to get thevanilla out of this pod, I have never done
this before so hopefully I am doing this rightbarry did show me quickly, oh there we go,
got some.So in goes the cream, we are going to whip
it now whip it that sounds funny rememberyou do not want to over whip it because you
will not get a very nice consistency so keepan eye on it as you whip it, do not forget
to push in your vanilla seeds or extract ifyou prefer to use that in it goes, now lets
whip it together. So this is looking goodI was worried at first it did take a long
time to get this consistency but then allof a sudden it has gone really thick so do
keep an eye on it, and do not give up keepwhipping.
If you like at this point you may want toadd a little icing sugar or confectionary
sugar to make it a little sweeter but we aresticking to vanilla and cream. I think the
pugs can smell the cakes, look at them whatdo you want guys, do you want some cake, cake.
Yes they are done.So now we turn these out onto the wire rack
tada, that looks good and off comes the greaseproofpaper too this is going to be my top one so
I am going to peel this off quick and flipit over. First sponge is on our stand, it
is nice and cool and ready for our jam, Iam going to dollop the jam in the middle and
get a nice amount, then just gently push itaround, this is going to be one very jammy
cake now I am going to spoon on the cream,look at this layer, oh my gosh wow, that is
one beast of a cake, now it is time to dustit with icing sugar covering the top of your
cake. Look at that, yummy.
It is time to taste the cake, well it is timefor you to taste it I have been a bit naughty
there and took another slice for myself andhad some right I am going to try it then,
oh my gosh, wow that is amazing, I am reallyproud of that, is it nice, yeah, it is cake
it is cake. There we go then guys we needto go before barry gets it all and I do not
