It can be enjoyed with a cuppa or served as a delicious winter pudding with homemade custard . Jump to recipe To start pre-heat th

This is a classic British cake which doesn’t need any introductions! I thought it was time I got this recipe on my blog as I made it regularly in my cafe. Victoria sponge and Lemon drizzle were regulars on my cafe menu and always sold well. Victoria sponge cake is named after Queen Victoria who was said to have enjoyed a slice with her afternoon tea. It was a popular cake during her reign in the 19th century. The jam inside always causes a debate - should it be raspberry or
