Victoria Sponge


























Whip up a Victoria Sponge cake this weekend (Recipe HERE) and layer it with a really good raspberry jam and top with whipped cream. I made this one for my neighbor whose been quite ill. Cake and cream with a strong cup of tea should make her feel a little brighter. Keeping with the English tea time theme, I presented it on my vintage Queen Elizabeth Coronation plate.

  2. My very favourite sort of afternoon teatime cake, and your whorl (is that the word I'm looking for) design on top makes it special. Fortunate neighbour.

  6. Whipped up a blueberry buttermilk cake yesterday...just the thing with a cup of tea on a cold, rainy, Spring day. Left 1/4 of it at my neighbour's door - arriving back in the wee hours from a trip - thought it might make for a nice breakfast and say Welcome Home.

  10. Now, why can't I have someone like you for a neighbor? Someone who brings you cake, instead of someone who throws dirty paper plates in the yard.

  13. Weyondon Chania! You always know how to make sweets look irresistible! I read your question on my blog and I will certainly ask around when I am at my office in Montréal. Perhaps one of the Montréal design shops would know and I do like to make the tour so I will ask....could be pricey though.
