  I haven't had a lot of success with Victoria Sponge, but this was perfect. I only had medium eggs and used 4 of those. (I see Suzanne has done the same.) It was too sweet for my wife, which was rather fortunate as it left more for me. Next time I'm going to try lemon zest in the sponge and Lemon Curd for the filling and see how that comes out. Must try some other cake recipes from Good Food. Chocolate, I think.

  I love this recipe. I always make it and never have problems with it. I like it that you can just put all the ingredients in a bowl together, no fussing about with adding it all seperately. 10 out of 10 from me.. jax :) x

  I tried it twice - once with 4 eggs. It didn't look very light so I reduced it to 3 eggs and it flopped completely! What went wrong?

  A fab basic recipe! I've done a number of variations on this and love the simple all-in-one method. My 3-year-old daughter loves helping to make it, and as it's simple she doesn't put me off! I've made a lemon version of this for my son's first birthday tomorrow as kids love it. I add lemon zest and a dash of juice in the sponge, use lemon curd filling (way less calories than butter icing, not too rich for kids and delicious). I make lemon icing (with lemon juice and optional yellow food colouring) and my 3 year old will finish it with sprinkles! Looks and tastes fantastic!

  Best textured sponge I've ever made. I thought it might be too eggy, so I onlu used 3 eggs in the mix anyway. Cooked exactly to the time too.
