Hello there,
This evening I decided to do a spot of baking, so I grabbed my ingredients and a cup of tea (of course?) and so then it became bake o'clock!
I decided to bake a Victoria Sponge here's the ingredients (I used a recipe from the YouTube channel 'RelishNetwork'):
- 3 eggs
- 170 grams self raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder (I didn't do this step)
- 170 grams caster sugar
- 170 grams soft margaine
- 1 tbsp warm water
- butter and icing sugar for the butter cream filling
Cuppa tea at the ready - in my lovely mug |
Once you have measured out all the ingredients for the Victoria Sponge, you then need to place all your ingredients into a bowl and mix mix mix!
Mix mix mixing... |
Until...it starts to look a little something like this:
and then this:
Now time to get messy and grease the baking tins!
Next - time to pour your ingredients evenly into the 2 tins, like so...TADA!
Stick between 20/25 mins on the cooker at 170 degrees and you're ready to cook.
Up next on my list was the buttercream filling, I measured out 280 grams of icing sugar and 140 grams of butter. I had a little too much buttercream icing however, so less icing sugar is needed! Half way through I added some hot water.
Beep beep, after I had made the buttercream the cakes were ready to come out and cool
Leave the cakes to cool and then add the buttercream.
I didn't leave enough time and the buttercream got a little 'sloppy' (to put it nicely).
The end result should look a little something like this...my mum and I then sat on our balcony and ate a slice of cake. It was so very yummy and fluffy, accompanied of course by another cup of tea.
Hope you enjoyed bake o'clock

DeleteI used to bake all new and different things but since I discovered my body works better without gluten I've been bogged down with a few of the same (albeit delicious) old recipes :/ this looks amazing though, I'm so jealous!
