❓ What Is Bero’s Victoria Sponge Recipe?

🍓 Bero Victoria Sponge Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour (240g)
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter softened (227g)
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (225g)
• 4 large eggs at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract divided
• ½ cup heavy cream (120ml)
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar plus more for dusting
• ⅓ cup strawberry jam (80ml/110g)

🥧How To Make Bero Victoria Sponge

1. Bring the oven up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the bottoms of two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and grease them with butter.
2. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. (If you’re using King Arthur self-rising flour, you won’t need the baking powder.)
3. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter on medium-high speed until well blended.
4. Gradually add the eggs while beating, pausing to scrape down the bowl as needed. Blend in the milk along with 1½ tablespoons of vanilla extract.
5. Slowly add the flour mixture while mixing on low speed; continue beating until the batter is thick and smooth. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the batter into the cake pans that have been preheated.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a golden brown color appears on top, a little press in the center causes the cake to spring back, and the edges begin to come away from the pan.
7. Place the pans on a wire rack and allow the cakes to cool completely inside. Gently take them out of the pans and peel off the paper lining the bottom.
8. Beat the cream, confectioners’ sugar, and remaining ½ teaspoon of vanilla in a medium mixing bowl on medium speed until stiff peaks are formed, about one minute.
9. Transfer one cake to a serving platter. Top with strawberry jam. Distribute the whipped cream atop the jam. Place the second cake on top.  Sprink extra confectioners’ sugar over the top before serving.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
• Even Distribution: Use a spatula to evenly distribute the batter in cake pans for uniform layers.
• Golden Brown Indicator: Look for a golden top, slight springiness, and edges pulling away to gauge doneness.
• Patience with Cooling: Allow cakes to cool completely on wire racks before assembling.
