Victoria Sandwich Cake ~ 維多利亞蛋糕
The classic ‘Victoria Sandwhich’ …. an ‘oldie’ but certainly a goodie and have you ever wondered how it got its name? There’s a history behind this Victoria sponge cake. It was named after Queen Victoria, who favoured a slice of the sponge cake with her afternoon tea. A traditional Victoria sponge consists of jam sandwiched between 2 layers of sponge cakes, the top of the cake is not iced or decorated. If you wish to know more of this history, then read it from here.
I’ve never had any formal lessons on dressing up a cake, so I just ‘plaster’ up the sides since there’s extra chocolate mixture and I see no reason to waste! Sprinkle on some nibbed almonds, and there you are, a plain Jane no more!
