  Lovely and light. Worth spending the extra money on a good quality jam like the Tiptree one suggested. Made this for a friends birthday and decorated the top with strawberries. Went down a storm!!

  I've got the two cakes in the oven, been reading the comments and just realised I've forgotten to put in the baking powder and milk. Ooops! :/

  Wow. I actually did it!!! I made a cake without a disaster happening :-) Absolutely beautiful cake, I will be making this a few times more. I used 3 x large eggs instead of 4 and was extremely pleased with the consistency. Highly recommend the recipe :-))

  This is a fabulous cake, I have made it many times, it always works and everyone says how delicious it is - I put icing on the top to make it that little bit extra special. I agree about the eggs, you only need 3 large ones and a dash extra milk

  It was very tasty indeed and was gobbled very quickly! I used a larger tin which worked out ok Probably not as spongy as if I had used the correct sized tin, but still really tasty. I used Fresh Strawberries, cream and a light spread of jam instead of the butter-icing. Scrummy. Couldn't resist more..

  It's a really good recipe but i found that 20 mins was no where near enough cooking time and the sponge was still liquid in the middle! i don't know whether it was just me but it was quite a shock!!

  Just finished one for my partners birthday, he's a chocoholic so I have made it with some coco powder (50g) and the grated rind of an orange, it smells wonderful.

  First time I had ever made a sponge and it came out perfectly - even though I ended up using 2 different sorts of sugar and having to add some margarine to the butter.

  I had always been lead to believe that Victoria sponge's were difficult but this simple recipe gave tasty, moist and impressive results. Everyone loved my cake and that's down to this recipe. And me, of course ;)

  I made this with the help of my two year old son and although it was messy (with a two year olds help) it turned out perfect. We were visiting my great aunt and it was a gift for her. She is the families cooking guru (makes everything by hand and from things grown in her garden/orchard) and she said it's the best one she has ever tasted! Would definitely make again! Really easy to make!
