The Taste of Britain

Product Information

Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to over-stir or the cakes will be dense. Today I’m introducing you to another decadent sweet you can add to your repertoire of tea time indulgences. We’re going to add a modern twist to this very traditional British dessert. It’s Victoria Sponge Cake, in miniature form.

You’re going to love these Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes. So soft and flavorful with a deliciously rich buttercream and jam filling. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each until incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture until incorporated. Be careful not to over-stir or the cakes will be dense. To make the buttercream filling, beat together the butter, powdered sugar and milk until smooth. If the buttercream is too stiff, add a tiny amount of milk until a spreadable consistency is reached. If it's too runny, add more powdered sugar. Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag with a medium or large round tip.

Testimonials

The biscuit selection includes favorite brands such as McVitie’s, Fox’s, Bolands, and Walkers, as well as less common options such as Bakers Tennis biscuits from South Africa and Shortbread House of Edinburgh shortbread. If you’re looking for cake, there’s an assortment of Mr. Kipling’s products, including my favorite mini Battenbergs, along with Lovemore Cherry Bakewells and O’Haras of Foxford loaf cakes from County Mayo, Ireland. There are also scones and crumpets straight from the UK. A selection of specialty teas available at Taste of Britain (photo by C. Sehy)

Pipe a dot in the center of the bottom cake half and pipe 4-5 more dots around the center dot. Spoon some jam on top, carefully helping it to run between the dots for a prettier presentation.

Traditionally Victoria Sponge Cake uses caster sugar, very finely granulated sugar. Instead we’re going to use organic pure cane sugar with its natural caramel-like flavor and cream it with the butter for several minutes to create a fluffy mixture that will be incorporated into that delicious sponge cake.
