Steps

1 Done	First, an important reminder. It’s critical to have all of the ingredients in the right quantities before you start baking Victoria Sponge cake. Winging it doesn’t work with this recipe!
2 Done	Let’s start by greasing two 18 cm / 7” sandwich tins.
3 Done	Next, let’s preheat the oven to 190°C or 375°F.
4 Done	Put the butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and thoroughly beat them together until the mix is pale and creamy-looking.
5 Done	Add half of the flour into the bowl and fold it in with a metal spoon. Once done, do the same thing with the rest of the flour.
6 Done	Next, gently whisk the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to our buttery mixture, then divide the mixture between the prepared tins.
7 Done	Now we are going to bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until they are light golden-brown on top. Our cakes should feel firm to the touch and will start to shrink away from the sides of the tins if they are ready.
8 Done	Turn the sponges out onto the wire rack and leave it to cool completely. After removing the grease proof paper, spread the delicious raspberry jam on one sponge, then turn the other on top of it and press gently to make a sandwich.
9 Done	Sprinkle the top with a little caster sugar! Your deliciously lovely Victoria Sponge Cake is ready to serve! If you are a big fan of chocolate, you can simply add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the flour and proceed with the same directions as above.
10 Done	NOTE: Cakes, whether kept at room temperature or in the refrigerator, should be stored in an airtight to keep them fresh and moist. If you are storing them in the refrigerator, then first chill the cake for about 15-20 minutes in the freezer to let the frosting on top harden!
