Valerie’s Birthday Cake Classic Victoria Sponge 200g self raising flour 200g sugar (I used granulated) 200g butter (softened) or marg (I used marg) 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 medium eggs 1 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp milk Buttercream/cake filling: 100g butter, softened 140g icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 100g strawberry jam cream butter/marg with the sugar, add eggs one at a time - mixing inbetween. Add vanilla extract, add baking powder, add flour a bit at a time (sieved) mix until fully combined, add the milk - mix. Divide into 2 prepared tins (I line mine with baking parchment - tins have been rubbed with butter - it helps the paper to stick onto the tin) BAKE setting 140c/280f 45mins on a pre-heated AF. *TIMES may vary depending on your AF, keep an eye from 30mins onwards (cooked temp 98c/210f) leave to cool completely before putting together.

Kerry you are so kind and thoughtful Valarie is one lucky lady to have you as her friend. Hope you both have a lovely time. Lorraine x🎂🥂

Ohhhhh lovely, that cake is so deep! It looks absolutely delicious, my mouth is watering! I know Valerie enjoyed it, I'm thinking that I might have a go at making one, I have the Ninja combi, it should give as good results. Why does KZbin take me to the next video when I haven't finished commenting on the one I'm on! This, furrrrr crying out loud (or words to that effect) this went to an engagement video! I only discovered it when someone liked it 😮

[@budgetcookinguk]

Happy birthday to Valerie. Lovely to see a picture of her and the cake. Hope she had a wonderful day. The cake was making my mouth water and to hear the delicious crunch sounded amazing. Enjoy.

[@j.brewer7717]

Hi Kerry, Happy birthday Valerie. She is very lucky to have such a good friend as you and I'm sure she appreciates you. Cake looked wonderful. Have just finished dog sitting for my son & family and they have got a Ninja twin drawer that can be used as one drawer. It's ideal for a family of four. My two granddaughters love cooking and it was then that talked me through using it. So proud of what they have made and now they tune into you to learn more. Take care my lovely, byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx

[@tracey9282]

[@pikricky]

The sponge looks amazing Kerry,you are so kind,Valerie is lucky to have a friend like you who still looks after her even tho you have moved away,you're a special lady,I admire your confidence in not opening the drawers until the time is up,I have a window in my Instant Vortex and I still like to open the drawer to make sure the food isn't burning as I don't have as much confidence in my baking,another great video flower,take care ❤Xx ps Happy Birthday Valerie

[@samcooper6115]

Wowser looks lovely Kerry

[@janicehartley8525]

I do love a Victoria sponge ❤

[@sandra-bb5xq]

That cake looks amazing Kerry, what a handy little whisk that is you made it look effortless. I was a bit sceptical when you put them in for 45 mins but they look perfect 🎉😊

[@bewoodford2807]

Hi K\erry, I don't know if anyone has already said, but I would assume the sync function is for synchronise which basically means that if you were to put say meat in one drawer and veg in another raking different times to cook. The machine would ensure they were ready at the same time. It would start off cooking the meat before the veg so they both ended cooking at the same time ready to dish up. Hope that helps. Geat cake. Hope it was enjoyed. Happy baking 🙂

[@lw7240]

Bless u Kerry being so lovely to Valerie. She will love the cake xxx ❤❤❤

[@Lorrainealfibobs]

You are such a lovely person !! Valarie is so lucky to have a friend like you ❤

Happy birthday Valerie xxx

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Evening Kerry. Awwww, Happy birthday, Valarie, hope she had a lovely day. Oh, that sponge looks fantastic. Nothing beats the crispy outer of the cake 😋🤤. I'm waiting on another new airfryer coming hopefully here next week but will definitely be trying this one out. Valarie looked delighted with her cake. BTW tell Jack " thank you" for the brownie recipe, made it twice over the weekend but I used orange instead of vanilla as I have done in the past and they were bloomin delicious especially warm with ice cream 😂😂. Xxxx Jacs 💚❤️

[@budgetcookinguk]

Another one Jacs? That's fabulous. Valerie had a lovely day, her neighbour took her out after I left. That cake lasted her a few days lol. I made it again for Al's birthday😋😋😋 used fresh whipped cream thou instead of buttercream - oh boy delish. Let me know what brand Airfryer you're getting! I will pass it on re brownies! 😀👍💕

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

@budgetcookinguk awwww, that's great re Valarie & belated happy birthday to Al. I actually went for the offer that Graham got posted the other day. HYSapientia newly released air fryer oven, got it for £75. Will give Connor my old tower air fryer oven, as it's very basic, was the first one I got and he knows how to use it as he cooked enough pizzas in it when he stayed with me 🤣🤣. I'm looking forward to receiving it, and with giving Connor my old one, I don't need to play Terri's 😂😂. Have a great day xxxx Jacs 💚❤️

[@budgetcookinguk]

@@jacquelinebuist1128 I missed this Jacs! Wow hows the HYSapientia?! Love a new Airfryer!! 👋😀💕💕

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

@budgetcookinguk don't worry about it Kerry. Oh, it's brilliant, it's huge, not fully used it yet but might attempt baking in it today xxxx 💚❤️

[@Mel-bo4dl]

Looks lovely the buttercream was too runny tho bet it still tasted good tho

[@charmianjohnson2364]

I’m surprised the cakes took 45 minutes, I haven’t cooked a sponge in my air fryer but cooked hundreds in the oven and only took 25/ 30 minutes.

[@metalrabbit09]

Could the sponge be baked in the Cosori Dual Blaze? I'm wondering if the Dual Blaze can bake something as delicate as a sponge cake. I don't think I've seen anyone from the US on KZbin bake cakes in air fryers and especially make from them from scratch. I'm glad you do, so I can learn from you.

[@budgetcookinguk]

That's really lovely. Thank you for watching (replied to your other comment re dual blaze) I love airfryer baking. The handy thing with dual drawers is 1 tin per drawer. In dual blaze you'd have to cook 1 tin then the other. Fab machine thou, I've made a cake traybake directly in basket with crisper plate out. 😀👍

[@metalrabbit09]

@@budgetcookinguk Thank you. I have to start looking into a replacement air fryer. I live in North Central Florida, and there are a lot of days that we don't want to turn the oven on. The Dual Blaze seems as if it is the most oven-like. I just didn't know if it would be too hot for baking.

[@budgetcookinguk]

@@metalrabbit09 the dual blaze is great, not many AFs have a bottom and top element. I've a whole dual blaze playlist. Tonight I baked Macaroni cheese in it tonight, 15 mins and it was perfectly baked. (Obv cooked sauce and boiled the macaroni on hob first and mixed together in the dual blaze basket - crisper plate taken out. With grated cheese on top - yum! I do add fried onion, cherry tomatoes and bacon pieces to the sauce - delish!) Oh the basket holds a lot!

[@metalrabbit09]

@budgetcookinguk I know. I've been watching them. I can't always rely on pre-frozen convenience foods and eventually need to cook gluten-free and low sugar again. That's why it is nice to learn how you cook in the air fryer without relying on commercially prepared foods.

[@SG-qi7pv]

What a lovely cake for Valerie! I thought that 40 minutes might be too long for a sponge cake but it came out perfectly. How are you finding the Cosori compared with the Ninja dual drawer and the Cosori oven? I'm thinking of getting a dual drawer or oven type air fryer as my existing Ninja has a smallish round basket which is very restricting but I'm dithering and not sure what to go for. The viewing windows are such a good idea.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aw thank you, she loved it. I really rate both but cosori is kinder to the purse! Plus I love the windows. 😀👍💕

[@SG-qi7pv]

@@budgetcookinguk Thank you - very helpful!

[@Barb905]

Kerry the cake looks amazing, did you use marg or butter x

[@budgetcookinguk]

Hi Barb👋😀💕 I used margarine. Oops I have forgotten to pin the recipe in the comments! Will do that asap

[@Craftyeastyorkshirelass]

Kerry l haven't yet watched your video but did you manage to find my husband's channel l have also set up a channel can't put the channel name in but my name will be in your comments happy birthday to valarie 😊

[@Craftyeastyorkshirelass]

Kerry hope you enjoyed the cake with Valerie it looked amazing hope you can check my name out on here l have only just started so it would be nice if you would subscribe also did you find my husband's channel l can't put it on here has it gets taken off just look for curious ducks on his channel 😊

[@barbaratcoxhead714]

I’ve the same air fryer and use the sync cook a lot for my loaf cakes and the fork biscuits that you did. Haven’t done a sponge because my tins don’t fit. What size are yours please.

[@hjcdormouse7337]

Years ago in a move I lost my round tins. I needed a Victoria Sponge Cake for a Birthday Cake for daughter to take to school not to be put off I put mixture in loaf tins and did a Oblong Victoria Sponge just as delicious and easy cut slices... it went down well with both kids and teachers. I figure in a pinch if you can't get round tins it is worth a try 🥰

[@budgetcookinguk]

Hi Barbara👋😀💕 my tins are 6" dia, there is a link in description to them but if you put 6" round cake tins in amazon, they & more will pop up

[@budgetcookinguk]

I'm loving this, an oblong Victoria sponge!👋😀💕

[@suepearce2005]

mine never seem to rise !! what size tins are u using please

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh no Sue! My tins are 6" Diameter. Fit ninja dual drawer (400 model) as well😀👍💕
