The last time someone asked me to make a Victoria sponge I used the same method just baking it in two sponge tins instead of a tray and then layering with strawberry jam and double cream sweetened with a little icing sugar
Spread the tops of each cake with apricot jam. The recipe is from the wonderful Mary Berry, who I have recently enjoyed watching in the very funny episodes of the Celebrity Bake off
In the tradition of several awesome camping birthdays we've been to, there's an element of everyone mucking in together to bring tonnes of booze salads, puddings and cakes
Recipe Junkie and the Attack of the Custard Creams
It was a great start to the new series with our favourite Queen of the kitchen Mary Berry. Did you watch the first episode of the Great British Bake Off
Sandwich with the other cake and spread (or pipe) the remaining icing on top, using the tip of a rounded palette knife to create a swirled effect from the centre to the edge of the cake
As you can already tell, I went with jaffa cakes to kick off #bakeoffbakealong. Who on earth attempts a spherical cake that’s supposed to look like an orange in the first round on the first day
Last week we were on holiday and I didn’t manage to do any baking along with the Bake Off but this week things are back to normal and with European Cake Week it’s just as well
Fantastic sliced and served in a bowl of warm custard. Chocolate cake is layered with coffeecake and chocolate chips are sprinkled in between for a luxurious treat which not only tastes great but looks it as well
Sift the flour ,ground ginger and a pinch of salt into thewarm mixture. Beat together the icing sugar,butter, lemonjuice and remaining ginger syrup,and spread all over the cake
Thanks to the show, and the mishaps that befell some of the contestants, I had a good idea of the pitfalls in making this cake, and combined with the fact that I had Mary's full recipe to hand, I felt pretty confident
you pour the ganache straight onto the top of the cake whilst it’s still in the. This recipe is off the Christmas Bake-Off special, and was specially requested
A skewer inserted into the centre of the cake should come out clean. Cover the surface of the icing tightly with clingfilm and keep in a cool place until needed
The sauce is a lovely combination of sharp and sweet and it goes very nicely with the delicate flavour of the cake but I actually think the cake would be nice without such a strong topping too
With an gigantic, grizzled grape vine twisting above us, we perused the cakes on offer, coffeecake, chocolate marble cake, light fruit cake, gingercake and the lightest of light lemon drizzle cake
