Spring-themed Individual Victoria Sandwich Cakes

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 100 g 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 100 g 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g 2/3 cup + 2 tablespoons plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon of milk

Filling:

  • 50 g 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 70 g 2/3 cup icing (confectioners' sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar you could use extract

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Add all the cake ingredients to a large bowl and beat or whisk until the batter is very smooth and soft.
  3. Pour into prepared tins or cupcake cases, and cook for around 15-20 minutes, depending on the size. When ready, the cakes will look a lovely brown colour on top, will have a springy touch, and an inserted skewer will come out clean. Leave on a wire rack to cool.
  4. For the buttercream, sift the icing sugar and vanilla sugar into a bowl and add the butter. Beat until a smooth consistency. If making smaller cakes, gently cut them in two and using a knife, spread the buttercream on one half, topped by the jam. Carefully place the other half on top. Sprinkle liberally with icing sugar and enjoy!
