As I myself am not the greatest baker, however still love making the odd cake here and there, I decided to share with you all how to make the most scrumptious yet super simple Victoria Sponge with a twist!
To make things much easier for myself I got one of the Betty Crocker classic vanilla cake mixtures, only involving 3 eggs, some water and vegetable oil to mix into 2 yummy cakey bases. The instructions are so easy to follow and is so quick to make up. Whilst waiting for the cakes to cook and rise in the oven I began making the jam filling for the cake. You can use any flavoured jam to suit your preference however as I am a rhubarb and strawberry lover I decided to mix the two together to give the mix a slight to twist. I recently found this strawberry daiquiri flavoured sauce/jam at Aldi which has a slight zing of lime within its flavour, and when mixed with some rhubarb preserve, made the perfect concoction to fill in my cake. To further add to this lazy recipe, I used the vanilla butter-cream icing through the center layer of the cake to satisfy the taste buds and supply a creaminess to the cake to prevent it from becoming dry. To add some more fruitiness to the cake, I finely sliced some strawberries which I layered upon the jam and cream, giving the cake a fresh twist, and packed it full of fruity flavour. Finally once layering the other cake base on top of the layers, I sprinkled with icing sugar and dried strawberry flakes which melted in the mouth to add even more flavour and texture to this super simple cake, as well as completing the look of it. However if you are feeling slightly more artistic than myself, you can decorate the cake with many other different edible iced objects/flavours to give the cake your desired look.
So if you are in the mood for baking a cake but aren't very good at it like myself, or are feeling a little lazy, then this is the perfect ingredients for you to create your own personal twist on a classic Victoria Sponge.
Happy baking!
