Celebrate VE Day and Eat Cake
VE Day is normally celebrated with street parties and with family and friends. This year in ' lockdown' many people are celebrating within their own family.
Our celebration was to eat cake and lots of it.
Victoria Sandwich Cake
Ingredients
4 eggs- whisked together in a small bowl
200g butter
200g caster sugar
200g SR flour
4 tabsp. Jam - I like either strawberry or raspberry
75g butter
150g icing sugar
Method
Grease and line 2 sandwich tins
Preheat the oven to 190C or Gas 5
Cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy
Add the beaten eggs a drop at a time, creaming well between each stage
If the mixture starts to curdle add a spoonful of the flour
Sieve the flour into the mixture and fold in using a metal spoon
Divide the mixture between the two tins
Bake for 25 mins until well risen, golden and springs back when touched
Remove from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack
Make the butter cream by mixing the butter and icing sugar until soft
Add vanilla essence if you wish
Spread one cake with the jam and the other with the butter cream.
Sandwich together and sprinkle on a little icing sugar on top of the cake
Enjoy
