Tips and Tricks:
If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 3 teaspoons of baking powder with 225 grams of plain flour. This should give you the same amount of self-raising flour.
Don’t overmix the cake batter - mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can cause the cake to be dense and heavy.
If you want to take your Victoria Sponge Fairy Cake to the next level, try adding a few drops of food colouring to the cake batter. This will give you a fun, multi-coloured cake that is sure to impress!
To make this recipe dairy-free, try using a dairy-free spread as a substitute for the butter.
If you don’t have strawberry jam, any type of jam or conserve can be used instead.
Serving Suggestions:
This Victoria Sponge Fairy Cake is the perfect treat for any occasion. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon treat, or as an after-dinner dessert. You can also enjoy it as a snack or lunchbox treat. If you’re feeling fancy, why not try topping it with fresh cream and a few slices of fresh fruit?
