Victoria Sandwich Cake

Not quite sure why it is called so, but dah nama dia!

This cake is easy to make and delicious. Good for teas, when you have unexpected guests ...

Sandwiched in between the two cakes is usually jam - strawberry jamlah! But you can sapu any jam you want, mixed berries is good too.

Victoria Sandwich Cake

I tripled the recipe to fit two 8 in cake tins.

Victoria Sandwich Cake
source: my mum's ancient cook book

4 oz self raising flour (I used Blue Key)
1 tsp baking powder
3 oz castor sugar
2 medium size eggs
4 oz butter

Method:
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add in eggs one at a time, beat well.
Fold in flour in batches and mix well until batter is smooth.
Line and grease 2 baking tins.
Bake for about 25-30 min at 180 C.

Take cakes out of tins and cool on racks.
When cakes are still warm, spread jam on the surface of one cake (pick the bottom part of the cake, as it is easier to spread the jam) before topping it with the other cake.
If you like dust some icing sugar on the top.

Happy Baking.
