  My 10 year old son made this cake by himself. Easy to make and tasted very nice too. Will use again :-)

  Wonderful cake! I made it as a simple Victoria sponge cake, also iced as a birthday cake and as cupcakes - works 100% every time! The best sponge cake ever! :)

  Honestly guys, I came across this by googling for a sponge recipe!! This is such a good recipe; I haven't found a better recipe!! Be sure to use 3 medium or large eggs though and not 4! Also I have another tip if you want to try something different: When you fully mix all the cake ingredients and you are left with the batter, split half and put it in another bowl and add a tablespoon of cocoa powder and mix that, then put spoonfuls of each in each cake tin and don't mix fully, so that when it is cooked it will have a marble effect!! I have tried this and it does work!! and I am also waiting for my new cake to finish in 10mins! ;) haha

  I have baked this cake twice, and both times have triumphed!!! The Ultimate chocolate cake was tricky but still oh so tasty! I recommend this Victoria Sponge for those who are tempted to try making this. A fantastic recipe and cheap to make!!

  I am rubbish at baking cakes, seriously.... I'm more of a savoury girl. BUT my son loves a Victoria Sponge and I wanted to try this for him. It says its simple and that's exactly what it was. It works! I took note of the egg comments and only used 3 X large and I slipped a little coconut essence in for good measure and it was LUSH. My baby said its the best cake I've ever made, and he's right- even I liked it. Thanks!!! DD

  Made this cake today and it dipped in the middle - didn't rise up properly. Wonder why? Tastes good though.

  really yummy, I also used 3 large eggs instead of 4 but the cake is light and fluffy but nicely moist :) Coated both sides of the cake with jam and add whipped cream in the middle. Also added 1 cap of vanilla extract to the cake mix its self.

  Can't really go wrong with this cake. I used cream for the filling instead and added 1/2 tsb of vanilla extract. Topped with layer of icing sugar. Cake gone in under 24 hours.
