Victoria Sponge Cake with strawberries
Making your own Victoria Sponge Cake can be quite a tricky job, but with this mix from FunCakes it becomes very easy! The result is a delicious creamy sponge cake which you can finish with a tasty filling and fruit, but which is also delicious as a bundt cake. In terms of taste and texture, Victoria Sponge Cake is somewhere in between a regulare sponge and a cake. The butter makes this pastry creamier than a regular sponge, but less fat and heavy than a loaf cake. Raisins or dried fruits can also be added to the batter, so we often see this cake during the holidays.
