And I didn't know the post "Bargains" which I'll be checking soon.

People, the cake talk is killing me. I am trying to cut down... not really going very well... and I have a strage longing for a nice piece of victoria sponge. Not sure why or why I'd not rather have chocolate cake... but there you go... strange cravings... perhaps I can get hubby to make one again :)

What a coincidence I've been trying to cut down for 6 weeks and had arranged to meet my friend for a coffee after work; I had my heart set on their delicious Victoria Sandwich only to arrive and found they had none left I was gutted it was to be my treat for 6 weeks of being good!
I broke my diet with a slice of St Clements cake but it wasn't worth it and now back on the diet!

What is it with you ladies and Victoria sponge? It's so boring, it's like a non-cake! Sorry, each to her own, but to me it's like apple crumble, which I absolutely refuse to eat as it's so plain. Now, enliven the fruit layer with, say, some blackberries (or preferably something else altogether) and jazz up the topping with wholemeal flour, crushed roasted hazelnuts, oats, cinnamon, etc and you're talking.

Excuse me but the Victoria sponge where I go has tons of fresh raspberry jam and loads of butter cream it's heaven, I would take you to experience it if you lived near me

[Ms Thrifty]

No, too bland for me - wouldn't eat it if you pa*d me. But all the more for you!

Oh my goodness - lots more cake talk - really need to get some cake today...

OK so I know that there are lots more exciting things out there than a Victoria Sponge, but sometimes you just need something classic - simple but effective. I'm all up for Apple Crumble too - preferably warm with some really good vanilla ice cream. And yes, with cinnamon please. Throw in the blackberries and hazelnuts too if you want... As long as it's GOOD cake, even if it's simple, it can blow your mind.

Why do they do this when I no longer work near there?! Hmpf!

anakin!
Thought of you this afternoon because I saw the ideal massive lockable cake container at House of Fraser, oxford st!

Aw thanks Sydney :) I'll have to go and check it out. I have a suspicion though that it might be the one I already have but it won't fit in my freezer It's likely that they'll have more though, so I'm DEF going to check it out tomorrow after work... need to go to Zara anyway, so two birds... well that's my excuse! Thanks for thinking of me!

You all made me want Victoria Sponge yesterday so I made one last night and we have just had afternoon tea in the office.

In case you all feel like making one (then you can add as much filling as you like) here's the recipe I use:-

Ingredients
110g/4oz butter or margarine
110g/4oz caster sugar
2 medium eggs
110g/4oz self raising flour

Method
1. Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Line 2x18cm/7in cake tins with baking parchment
3. Use a hand mixer to cream the butter and the sugar together until pale.
4. Beat in the eggs.
5. Sift over the flour and fold in using a large metal spoon. The mixture should be of a dropping consistency - if it isn't, add a little milk.
6. Divide the mixture between the cake tins and gently spread out with a spatula.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
8. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before turning on to a wire rack to cool.
9. Sandwich the cakes together with jam, lemon curd or whipped cream and berries or just enjoy on its own.

Oh my goodness! How wonderful that this thread encourages baking etc! I'm still waiting to hear how a_person's first roast went..!

And thanks for the fab recipe! I am not a keen baker (not sure why, maybe I should give it a go) but will make hubby do this He's quite handy like that haha! Actually I think I do know why - I'm a keen "oh just chuck a little bit of that in" type cook, which doesn't go so well with baking, so...
