Strawberry Cream Victoria Sponge Cake Recipe

Strawberry Cream Victoria Sponge Cake Recipe, afternoon tea, anyone?

A Strawberry Cream Victoria Sponge is a delightful British classic that combines light, fluffy sponge with fresh strawberries and softly whipped cream.

Perfect for afternoon tea, birthdays, celebrations, or simply enjoying with a cup of tea, this cake is both elegant and comforting.

The sponge is made with simple ingredients such as butter, sugar, eggs, and self-raising flour.

Once baked, the cakes should be golden, soft, and springy to the touch.

After cooling, one sponge is generously spread with whipped cream and topped with juicy, sliced strawberries. The second sponge is carefully placed on top, creating a beautiful layered cake.

Named after Queen Victoria herself, there are few cakes that can beat this all-time classic recipe. 

You can spread strawberry jam (turning it into a jam sponge) or whipped vanilla cream on the base of one sponge cake as a filling, or both.

This classic recipe is also one of my favourites.

For an extra touch of sweetness, the strawberries can be lightly coated with strawberry jam before being added to the cream.
