Queen Victorias Victoria Sponge Cake Made In The KYVOL AF600 Air Fryer

[@julejustjule]

I am Canadian and my grandmother used to make a cake similar to this for my birthday. Only difference was she "iced" it with whipped cream. Best cake ever!

[@michelleharkness7549]

Incredible

[@vonnieluxon2437]

Nice.

[@monicab.m.cipriano1850]

Mr. Darren, every time you post a video, my son and I are committed to watching it together. We are admirers for his undeniable competence, his joy of living and above all for his generosity in sharing with us stories of the royal family, which are also his life memories. Thank you so much and feel embraced with affection. 😊🌻 Monica, São Paulo, Brazil.

[@apurvakumbhojkar8185]

This cake looks sooo delicious and cute😊.I really the like way The Royal chef shares his memories.And he speaks so politely

[@afazi55]

speaks so politely ... yes me too noticed! :)

[@jessicafickes1046]

My Grandma loves this style of cake with strawberries and whipped cream! Brings back some great memories! Cheers! 😊

[@momuv6980]

As always, lovely desserts and a fun British history lesson! I enjoy your recipes nearly as much as learning about their origins. You are a joy to watch and I cannot wait to try this dessert! (I may use raspberry jam instead as my family prefers that 😁)❤️

[@georgefrank8633]

Hi Kathy how are you doing?

[@kellyshannon9374]

You make that look so easy, Darren. I am going to try this out!! It’s my favorite cake.

[@msbeaverhausen7226]

This was such a treat to watch! My Welsh Mother used to make this, mostly in the summertime. It was so delicious!

[@yvonnewalesuk8035]

I too love a slice of Victoria sponge cake with a cuppa, Darren 😋...I add a layer of butter cream under the strawberry jam. I know it isn't authentic to the original recipe, but - as you know - it's common practice over here - and it's delicious. I love your videos and thank you for sharing your recipes and anecdotes. 😊

[@Darren_McGrady]

Sounds yummy Yvonne. And thank you for your kind words

[@thornbird6768]

My grandma put a lovely layer of home made butter cream in hers 👍🏻I couldn’t imagine it without ? But who are we to question a royal chef 👍🏻she also used raspberry jam 👍🏻

[@clavesseptem7223]

My grandmother loved those. She only made them rarely though. I had one once for my twelfth birthday (well, late birthday since that year I visited her in the summer and my birthday is in January).

[@terminallumbago6465]

I’m guessing it was a rare thing because of how difficult it was to make before mixers came about.

[@simon1003]

So simple, yet absolutely perfect.

[@SkipMDMan]

You can buy superfine sugar at any grocery store. Domino (among others) makes it. I use nothing but superfine when I make meringues.

[@limeykl]

Mum would make all her cakes by hand..no electric mixers or beaters..so wonderful every time….thanks for bringing back lovely memories Darren:)

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Looks delicious, Darren. Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

[@donnabaardsen5372]

Absolutely delicious-looking! Always love visiting England/London. I love all things British, including you & your channel, Darren🥰

[@leslikuyweski4576]

Looks delicious! I love that you tell the history behind the recipes.

[@michaelmilling3512]

Made the sponge came out perfect! Thanks for sharing.

[@cyberqueen7784]

That Victoria Sponge looks so good! I've always wanted to make one. I'll have to bring out my own air fryer the next time I want to have cake but don't want to turn on the oven. This would be perfect for tea.

[@anikaabdullah8873]

I love your channel so much!The little bits of history within the video are so well timed.I'm 100% into it!

[@moses_dimski]

Love that you talk about history so much.

[@marthamorris3174]

Delicious sponge cake served with a cup of tea OR coffee…… what a nice afternoon treat! Thanks Darren for sharing the recipe along with “cooking history” lesson🍰👍🇺🇸 🫖☕️.

[@MoonSpinners]

That’s a couple of really well done cakes! That’s a diplomatic way of saying they look burnt on the top 😬

[@bencellini4200]

THE 3.00 PM 15 minute bit of PEACE AND PLEASURE OF a cup of tea and a piece of cake. An enduring British pleasure and part of our culture, adopted by our old friends where we settled and should be enjoyed by everyone on these isles. ( I never took this seriously and worked my break until an old fella explained that men had made sacrifices for this privelidge). A British bond of the working class (enshrined in employment law ), middle class, gentry and the aristocracy: A little civilisation amidst the nonsense and futility of historic and modern existence and the hardship the of day to day grind.

[@Clara-ph7my]

The best of traditional cakes. Who could resist a slice of this?

[@tanyawood275]

As always I love to watch you cook! I can see why Princess Diana wanted to take you with her to cook for her and the Prince"s William and Harry!!

[@georgefrank8633]

Hi Tanya how are you doing?

[@rimachaterjee3587]

I love raspberry jam delicious 😋 Waitrose does a lovely Victoria sponge cake it’s their No1 brand and has a layer of raspberry jam so delicious ❤

[@savewaqt4117]

Love watching your videos from Canada

[@krob2445]

I absolutely love learning new techniques from you!

[@angelamariaurbano6603]

Hello Darren, i love the Victoria Sponge Cake, and I prepared it sometime, absolutley delicious!!! Thank you for sharing the classic British receipes! Greetings from Italy!

[@robertthompson90]

The simplest recipes really are the best

[@lilahasson5110]

I just love your videos! The history is so interesting! Your recipes make my mouth water. Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories!❤

[@mariamowla1948]

Lovely and with minimal fuss in making. Love the history too with the cake 🤣🤣

[@janemccourt5022]

Just out of hospital after a stroke. I would totally love a cup of tea and some Victoria Sponge right now!!! Thanks Darren for all your vids. Gotta love the all in one method!! I wonder if the Royal chefs bring favorite meals or other foodie treats to the RF when, as with HRH Prince Philip recently, a royal stays in hospital, just to cheer the patient up?? Maybe that is too personal a RF question!!!!

[@user-bg8wo2pi8u]

Good luck in your recovery process ♥️

[@janemccourt5022]

@@user-bg8wo2pi8u Thank you. That means a lot to me.xxxxxx

[@melissaconnellyjones2622]

Dang, every time I watch one of these I start drooling like Homer Simpson.

[@merin797]

You’re hilarious!🌸

[@tariqlatif701]

Hi Darren, this looks great reminds me of my childhood days back home in Derbyshire England. If you have time can you make a traditional Bakewell pudding. Thanks Tariq

[@susanmcdermott3668]

We went to Bakewell last summer with the intention of bringing a few Bakewell puddings back but at £12 for a small one we changed our minds, we bought one for ourselves and must be honest it was delicious 😋

[@debbiesday8270]

That's a beautiful cake. I can't wait to try it!

[@madeleinemcaveney1061]

Always love Darren's clips. I wish he would include the exact measurements of each of the ingredients so that we can give it a go. Would love to bake this for an afternoon lunch!

[@leeshuford4654]

Darren I am going to try and make this cake. I love watching your videos!!!! Could you explain what a crumpet is and maybe do a video and make some?

[@RickyB464]

Caster Sugar...never knew the story behind it. Cheers Darren! Love the little stories you throw in.

[@emiladesilva9497]

Hi Iam from sir lanka queen victooria sponge cake really nice we love that

[@DBSSTEELER]

D-Mac, I can feel myself getting fatter just from watching that video. The cake looks delicious

[@yolandaaguilar3652]

Absolutely 💘 your wonderful memories & of course sharing beloved receipes ❤ Pls keep up the Great Receipes w/ Winston 🐕 💘 from 🇺🇸 😃

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

Mr McGrady..I have fought using the air cooker for so long, but you convinced me to try it.

[@angeloofpalermo2612]

This looks perfect for a sunny day in the garden. I'm thinking what type of tea would suit this best? Thanks for sharing

[@denisefletcher1608]

Darren, you're absolutely lovely and I always thoroughly enjoy your videos and memories. I love British cuisine and dishes like yorkshire pudding, sunday roast, scones, shepherd's pie, haggis (yes I actually LOVE it!), golden syrup sponge pudding, bubble and squeak, pasties, pork pies, builder's tea etc., but to be honest, I've never enjoyed the classic victoria sandwich with just jam in the middle and castor sugar on top. Respectfully, I feel it needs some cream so I always sandwich it generously with a layer each of jam and whipped double cream and it is divine! Thank you for sharing your recipes and memories. They are a wonderful way to feel connected to Diana ❤️

[@estherhounsell8579]

Love your channel, the food looks amazing, I so enjoy your stories too 😊

[@chrissyknowsitall5170]

Oh how I have missed this guy!!!

[@kiddoesan111]

This is going to be my instant weekend plan to bake Victoria's sponge cake and fry chicken wings at the same time. 🤣

[@thechunkymonkey5]

Lovely video. Where may I find an ounce to cup conversion for the ingredients listed? Also, what oven temperature is used if one doesn't own an air fryer?

[@dennissullivan2518]

These videos always put a smile on my face...

[@ginasellers3207]

Darren this cake looks beautifully delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us and a bit of a history lesson as well. I hope you're having a fantastic summer. I miss Winston and his shenanigans. Peace and love.

[@opinionated4219]

Thank you for using ounces and cups! My only will be buttercream in the middle, under the jam (to keep the latter from soaking into and/or running out of the cake). Thank you for the history lesson, too. I had no idea Bird's custard powder was invented by the same man.

[@elisec1207]

I made the cake and it tasted super delicious, I will definitely do it again

[@BetsyH]

Oh my, how delicious looking! Will be making this! I like how you give history of dishes you make. Castor sugar? I never knew why it was called that.

[@bevcrabtree6519]

will b making this tomorrow for sure ! thank you for the recipe... i was wanting a recipe for a sponge !

[@evecottom9966]

Love the Mason&Cash basins. A Victoria sponge was the first cake that Mum taught me to bake.

[@georgefrank8633]

Hi Eve how are you doing?

[@danielleporter1829]

Your Victoria sponge looked so yummy. One day when I go to London and and have afternoon tea, when I have a slice of sponge I'll be thinking of yours. I learned something new from this video , and that is why caster sugar is caster sugar and it's because of the casters it was put in . Just a couple of questions, where was Winston, will he be making an appearance in the next video and did he get a slice of sponge?

[@CatsPajamas23]

Winston was on the shelf , behind Darren's shoulder. I also used to wonder about castor sugar, from British cookbooks. I didn't know that it was the same as superfine. I always learn how Darren's videos.

[@kyla01144]

just made this, added vanilla bean paste and lemon zest to mine, when it cools ill use strawberry jam to it

[@wecsupergenius]

It looks so good. I'm going to try this one. Chef makes it look easy to do.

[@merin797]

Darren, you’re like Sunshine.🌸

[@paulalaye6428]

Darren you're my sanity in a mad mad mad world atm! Love and adore Victoria sponge, along with Lemon drizzle Cake and Coffee walnut cake, all wonderful! All my love and best wishes to you Paula in sussex

[@MLukacs]

This looks delicious, Darren! Thank you and Kyvol for the giveaway! Your videos are perfect!

[@andreawhite7112]

Can the sugar amount be cut in half?

[@kendrapratt2098]

For some reason, I really enjoyed the close-up when he said ‘Press start’ 😆

[@letisherlin2100]

Yummy berry jam❤🎉& sponge 🍰🎉

[@laura-uc6ie]

I still need to choose between Darren being the best CHEF or the best STORY TELLER ahahah , I love your videos xx

[@Darren_McGrady]

aww, thanks Laura

[@rsoubiea]

as a girl my mom made angle food and sponge cake for me. my favorites! 😍

[@murielhanby6516]

Looks scrumptious 🍰🍰

[@jaehaspels9607]

Thanks for the historical information. I've seen castor sugar mentioned in other recipes and just thought it was the UK term for granulated sugar. Now I know.

[@michelleharkness7549]

To behold this amazing lesson of how to make a fabulous sponge cake ( my absolute favorite) is one of the best joys of my life! It looks wonderful, must taste awesome. Thank you, Master Chef Darren McGrady. This is truly thrilling. Again, thank you. P.S. Tell Winston ‘hi ‘ from me.

[@scampbell9375]

we call it Berry Sugar in Canada

[@ardiris2715]

My air fryer has completely replaced my microwave. So much more space on my countertop now.

[@maggiee3601]

That looks absolutely delicious, now I am hungry again😅 Great video as usual, it always brightens my day when I see you have posted something new.

[@empi4106]

You are my dream chef!!!

[@limeykl]

ALDI sugar is superfine and easy to find

[@simonwillis6902]

Oh no, you had to say sherry trifle! I'm off to pick-up a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream!

[@robertchinnock8017]

Caster sugar here in Australia is regular available

[@JustAThought155]

Look at that batter! Wow!!! Gorgeous! Lots of butter, but maybe that’s why this treat looks so decadent! Looks easy though. You might have answered this, but I will ask: how would you cook it in a standard oven?

[@Darren_McGrady]

350 degrees F

[@marchache]

Are the sugar and flour measured by volume or weight?

[@lwest5686]

I grew up in Canada with a Jersey aunty who made a Victoria sandwich for afternoon teas. Good memories. Sad to see the air fryer offer isnt for Canada.

[@Darren_McGrady]

Sorry, manufacturers rules, not mine

[@kitty6720]

Hi, Darren. What is the diameter of your baking pan? If I double the ingredients, will that cake fit in 24cm diameter round baking pan?

[@terminallumbago6465]

How much baking powder should we use if we don’t have self-rising flour?

[@Katy32344]

Looks great, although slightly burnt?

[@darkcloud1948]

What a beautiful cake! Darren your videos ALMOST make me think I can cook/bake! Almost...

[@roseflowers7641]

I watched this late but enjoyed it as usual, your videos are wonderful!

[@mikedamours8733]

Looks good, I like it when you talk about the history and the food. I bought the same air fryer as Chef Darren :)

[@Kayak088]

Thanks Darren

[@heatherarcher8624]

Looks delicious!!

[@bernard.8355]

Hi Darren, Is the discount for the fryer just for the American market? Or is it also available in the UK? Thanks

[@Darren_McGrady]

Sadly only in the USA

[@lhzook]

The air fryer is out of stock on Amazon with no idea of when it will be back. Will Kyvol extend their discount

[@Aurora-qn2dx]

Lovely video and sponge cake recepe.

[@georgefrank8633]

Hi Ella how are you doing?

[@Lovelifealways16]

Love a good sponge. Might have to look into an air fryer, I didn’t know you can cook cakes in them. Just one thing when you say the temperature that you are cooking something at, could use please say whether it’s C or F. I thought the English are Celsius the same as us in Australia but I may be wrong. Keep up the good work. 😍👍

[@MrDryfield]

It's in Fahrenheit, 300 degrees in Celsius would have burnt it even more than he has 🤣

[@xcraftminebb]

Love it

[@leenmattar3983]

Exquisite! I'll be off to my kitchen.

[@vlm4962]

What a lovely cake. It looks delicious. I was wondering if there is a dessert or a dish named after Princess Diana? If so, can you share it.

[@khadijehkhederie3516]

Good Morning Darren McGrady, I always enjoying watching your cooking, and backing food Channal, you speak nice and friendly, You have mentioned about Caster Sugar which you dusted for the Victoria spong Cake usually I dust the spong Cake with the Icing Sugar, COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH SUGAR HAS A GREAT IMPACT FOR THE CAKE TO BE DUSTED THANK YOU DARREN 😊

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

I’m totally going to make this for our next ladies tea ☕️ 🍰 🫖

Can we use a blender instead of a food processor?
