    Victoria
    Sponge
    The classic, and perhaps the
    Queen of English cakes.
    Which is fitting, as it is named
    after the Empress of India
    herself. The key is light
    sponge, and lashings of the
    best jam you can find. Like
    Fortnum’s Strawberry or
    Raspberry preserve.

    Until recently, our recipe for this divine cake was a


    closely-guarded secret. Now proudly published within From
    the pages of our The Cook Book, it is available for all theCook
    to enjoy. Happy baking, eating, and if you can manage Book
    it, sharing.
