Amazing recipe, i put fresh strawberries in the middle with the cream and jam and made extra cream to pipe decoration on top. Looked really good for a birthday party and was so delicious. Thank you!

Perfect cake! Made this cake for my daughter’s strawberry themed 1st birthday and it came out a gorgeous golden colour! I swapped the jam for strawberries and matched the theme perfectly! I always swear by Jane’s recipes and again it did not fail!

The tin width is correct, but you may have used a cake tin that was too shallow? The oven may also have been too hot if it was starting to burn, which can cause a bake to fail. It’s worth turning the oven temp down and baking for longer to give a more even bake, and testing with a skewer before taking out of the oven. The mix doesn’t need anything like milk added x

My first ever Victoria sponge and it was a success. Very light and fluffy. I gave the choice to my grandson, whose birthday it was, between whipped cream or buttercream and he chose buttercream. So I used the cream cheese frosting of Jane’s red velvet cupcakes as it is just delicious and as it is not too sweet, it goes extremely well with the strawberry jam. The quantities were fine but I still decided to cut 1 cm of each cake so the cake was not too high with the layer of jam and cream cheese frosting. Oven temperature: very good at 160 C and I left the cakes cool down 10 mns in the tin outside of the oven before taking them out of the tin. Excellent recipe which I will definitely keep.

I weighed the eggs in their shells ( 354 grams ) and used the same amount for butter, sugar & flour…. The outside had started to burn but not too badly and it had risen. A few minutes after taking it out it went flat…ok I thought that doesn’t matter too much …I waited then turned it over it then split in two as it was still raw …I was gutted, the waste 🙈🙈🙈 I had the oven on gas 4 ( just over actually ) hands up, I did add some milk as I thought it had to be of a droppy consistency [ ??? ] I don’t think that was the sole reason… the tin just didn’t seem big enough for that amount of mixture … your thoughts 💭 …I,m not giving up…. ☺️ the outside of the cake was delicious though …. Any thoughts to help me get it right ? X

Hi Jane, I see it says baking powder is optional, please can you advise as to what it does for this bake as some recipes I notice have baking powder and some don’t? Thank you

I want to use buttercream, what quantities do you recommend for this?

If it’s gone very dark compared to the rest of the cake maybe use a cake liner or greaseproof paper to line your tins. But I personally like that crispy edge. I have noticed it tends to happen more with real butter than when using baking spreads.

This could be your oven, cheaper thin tins, or the greasing. I never grease the sides of my tin personally! x
