A Victoria Sponge Cake is a classic British dessert that is simple to make and can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. To make the perfect Victoria Sponge Cake, you will need a few basic ingredients and a little bit of time.

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, cream together 8 ounces of softened butter and 8 ounces of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in 4 eggs, one at a time, and then add 8 ounces of self-raising flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Finally, fold in 2 tablespoons of milk.

Grease and line two 8-inch round cake tins with parchment paper. Divide the cake batter between the two tins and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spread a layer of jam on one of the cakes and top with the other. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
