Victoria Sponge
Victoria Sponge is a classic British cake made from equal parts of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Named after Queen Victoria, it is typically baked in two round layers and filled with jam, often strawberry or raspberry, and sometimes whipped cream. The cake is light and fluffy, making it a popular choice for afternoon tea.
Traditionally, the top layer is dusted with powdered sugar for a simple yet elegant finish. Victoria Sponge can be enjoyed plain or with various fillings, and it is often served at celebrations, gatherings, and tea parties, showcasing its enduring popularity in British culture.
