  Superbly easy! Add some sliced fresh strawberries on top of the cream for extra yum.

  Made this at the weekend with 3 freshly laid duck eggs as they're rather large - beautiful flavour and didn't hang around long enough to go stale!

  There are not enough words to describe how yummy this cake is. I decided to make it for my son as a birthday cake and as he doesn't like jam made orange butter cream to fill which was lovely. However, the rest of us wanted to know what it was like with cream and jam so off I went this week and made it again and what can I say it was delicious.... thank you James for sharing a fab cake

  This Victoria sponge is the very first one I've ever made - it was so easy to make and is light and fluffy. I used cream and raspberry jam - my partner loved it. I'll certainly be making it again.

  After commenting (bragging) that anyone can cook, i have finally got around to teaching myself to cook: the instructions were simple to follow, and on first attempt produced a very tasty light sponge.

  My husband used this recipe as he felt like making a cake, he has never made a cake in his life. It was beautiful, better than mine, in fact it was so good it I persuaded him to enter it in our local Fruit, Flower & Vegetable show, only the second time he had made a cake. He was the only man entering and won first prize, the judge commented that it was a perfect sponge, he also won the Best Newcomer Cup. He is now hell to live with. The only change he made was that he used three eggs and not four. Hope you pass this on to James Martin as hubby follows his programme regularly and loves his attitude towards cooking.

  This turns out great every time. It is lovely and light. I have to make 2 at a time to keep the family happy as it goes so quickly. I use buttercream instead of double cream.
