Doing it for my birthday cake this May !

[@shahdaz1862]

My birthday is in two days so ..

[@dunkindoughnut167]

I'm going to do it now!

[@millielee1898]

vanilla buttercream is amazing in this as well!! tip: if you put the cream on first, the jam doesnt spill over the edges of the cream, so it is much easier to spread and keep in place

[@vegastyable]

This is my go-to cake recipe! I just started to become interested in baking and this one my first successful cake! It tastes DELICIOUS and it's super easy to make! My whole family LOVES it! Thank for for the great recipe Donal!

[@donalskehan]

That's so great to hear!

[@fehr2409]

all butter should be creamy yellow/golden, don't know what the hell they have in america.

[@allthebest1277]

We have KerryGold.

[@Willowflower]

A lot of the butter here (in the US) is white.

[@allthebest1277]

Willowflower No it is not. Butter is yellow. The butter that IS white is the whipped butter and it's delicious and fresh. So if that british person commenting above has a problem with it, kick rocks.

[@Willowflower]

I have sticks of butter in my fridge that are white.

[@thalassous]

Fehr AlMehdar yea we up in the white north got good butter

[@rookiewithacookie]

Kerrygold Irish butter is SOO good!

[@itsmeharperjacksons6633]

True that

[@blackie75]

In Australia, Duck River is the money butter....literally, It's like $7.00 for 500g lol

[@goldi23100]

I know right

[@lukewhite9237]

[@janupanicker1839]

Totally agreed

Your enthusiasm and positivity brings me so much joy!!!

[@edytaszarfemberg944]

i've already tried a few of your cakes (and other recipes) and i must say they all turned out PERFECT. whenever I have time to cook or bake something new I always go to your website for a recipe. thank you so much for all that amazing stuff that you share!

Oh my, that is beautiful! Usually I don't like just classic things because, you know, I think it's to simple and decide to make profiteroles and soufflés...

Love this butter it's nice and salty. Lovely cake

[@johnd5574]

This cake really looks wonderful! (also, I can't help but get a big smile whenever his aussie shepherd 3:40 pops up, they're such cool dogs!)

[@sanam8819]

I love how you make me smile after watching your videos. Your recipes are always mouth-watering and your amazing personality always shines through! 😊

[@cloudy3174]

I got this from my friend and i see it a lot in other victoria sponge cake videos/recipes but it makes a absolutely lovely touch to add sliced strawberrys in with the cream and strawberry jam.

[@harpalk8096]

Fun fact: the Victoria sponge cake is named after Queen Victoria. The Queen enjoyed a slice everyday for her tea... Thanks for video x :)

[@_Just_Andy_]

Harpal Kang I heard that Queen Victoria invent or probably "invent" this recipe.

I love that butter! The cake looks amazing!

[@farhanarouf6730]

Thank u so much for the recipe!! I made the best vic sponge ever!! The sponge was light an fluffy! I used golden castor sugar btw xxx

[@hebam1934]

I made this yesterday I made raspberry jam it was so nice I would recommend this

[@CatsPajamas23]

Tip: pipe a border of cream around the edge of the bottom layer before you put in the jam. You can add a little more and it won't seep out between the layers.

[@wgcworldsgreatestcontent3361]

i tried it....my family loves the cake .....glad i went across the border to get the Irish butter as my country doesnt import this particular brand.....best butter i ever tasted.

[@inthenameoflove5]

Just made it and it came out perfect! One of the nicest sponges ever. Well done and thank you for the great recipe! ❤

[@marieryan858]

i love all cake but victoria sponge just has to be my favourit

[@allthebest1277]

Coincidentally I made this Cake last week (and using KerryGold as well! ) and OMG So buttery, light and delicious - a bit salty at the bottom but in a pleasant way actually. I didn't use jam but fresh strawberries. Next time I'll try the jam again.

[@anayelisoria37]

My mom was a working mom and she wasn't a good cook XD but once, when I was like 11, she baked a cake for my sister's birthday, and it was ONE OF THESE! I never knew until now! hahaha Nice

[@oldasyouromens]

Why are European cake batters so thick? In America we make them a LOT thinner and come out with similar results. It can go from almost watery to about hot chocolate consistency most of the time. We do often use oil instead of butter for a finer crumb, though, so that may be it.

[@katmaw5910]

Grace Sophia It depends on the cake and what you do with it. A well measured, thicker batter will result in a fluffy texture yet it will be firm and strong to carry the weight of other layers. Thinner batters are still fluffy and light yet are weaker. Plus, it depends on the type of cake. Chocolate cakes naturally turn out to be thinner which is best in order to get the light texture. Finally, it's also about preferences.

[@missyw589]

Grace Sophia you don’t want any crumbles in this cake and that’s why the batter is thick

[@asmakugor8494]

I love this recipe it's so simple and easy to make and love it

Will the cake be lighter if you beat the eggs till it forms soft peaks and then fold the eggs in the butter and flour mix? I want to make this cake but I am doubting over that question...

This brings back so many memories! I loved victoria sponges and also had a mild obsession with kerrygold where I wouldn't eat butter unless it was salted and kerrygold. Children are so strange.
