Added chopped strawberry's to the sponge mixture which made the cake taste even nicer!

Wow loved making this cake so so easy & looked & tasted amazing. :-D

I made this cake this morning and finished the cream and jam filling just after lunch. It is now 8pm and my family have already eaten half of what turned out to be a gigantic cake. They love it. My 5 year old helped to make it as it is such an easy recipe and it is absolutely delicious. I hid it in the fridge (real cream in it) and the vultures still found it. Will probably be making this every week.

A really light, and fluffy sponge. So easy to make too! Will definitely make this again!

This is the first thing I made in my new kitchen. I haven't baked for years but this turned out so well, I have the baking bug back. Thank you James (and your Granny) x

When I took this out of the oven, the cake smelt very eggy. Like scrambled eggs almost. Is this normal? It was a bit off putting so I threw my first cake out thinking the eggs may have gone off, but the same thing has happened second time round. Does the smell fade when it cools?

Duck eggs made it super light and I used fat free Greek yoghurt with a touch of icing sugar and vanilla essence to make it a tad healthier! Nom nom nom!

Thank you so much for this straightforward recipe. I haven't made many cakes before and found this hassle-free vic. sponge satisfying to make and even more satisfying when my friends loved it :)

A fabulous recipe. The whole family loved it. Used some homemade blackberry jam and double cream. What a great teatime treat :-)

Easy and delicious, light and fluffy - loved by the whole family

Yum! I used sponge flour and baking powder. I don't have 2 cake tins so used one for about 40/45 mins and once cooled cut in half. I'll definitely make this again.

Very nice, easy cake to make. Thoroughly enjoyed and will make again.

5 stars all the way, easy to make, light & fluffy with a really delicate taste (and I'd never have thought I'd say that about my cakes). It's a success every time!

I made this receipe last week, and I must say this is the best receipe I have used for making a Victoria Sandwich cake. It turned out too be very light and moist & it went down a treat.
Its also great for making cup cakes (it makes around 13).
Will defo be using this receipe from now on :-)

Highly recommended absolutely classic Victoria Sponge. best recipe I've found-will be my only one from now on-delicious and light1

A brilliant recipe which turns out well every time and never lasts longer than a day in our house!

Made this cake without prior planning at a friends house for his birthday and was delighted by the outcome! Having never made a cake before this was a brilliant recipe to follow and huge success. Beautifully light and soft!

easy to make and lovely.

The traditional recipe for making a Victoria Sandwich - because the weight of eggs vary - is too weigh the eggs, however many you use, and use the equivalent weight of butter, sugar and flour. Works every time! Great recipe, recommended.

PS When you "beat in" beat well to get plenty of air in and when you fold be gentle and you will get a light fluffy cake to be proud of.

I made this yesterday. I thought I'd really messed up by getting distracted and adding all the eggs at once but I carried on regardless and it turned out beautiful. Thank you so much. I love the BBC Good Food recipes - they make it look like I can actually cook :-))
