Easy Victoria Sponge Sandwich Cake
Warm greetings from SUSSEX where I am visiting my Family & Friends!
Originally, I made this very cake for the 40th Birthday of my Incredible Best friend. Because it was for her special day, it had to be Grand, it had to be delicious.
The BBC Good Food (@bbcgoodfood) recipe is spot on! It has become my go-to recipe! Of course you can find it on their website right HERE!
Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
