Victoria sponge is the quintessential English tea-time cake, named after Queen Victoria: two wonderfully moist butter sponge layers filled with a generous layer of strawberry jam and whipped cream, simply dusted with powdered sugar. No complicated icing, no decorations: it’s all about the balance of moist sponge, fruity flavor, and cream. It’s the perfect comforting cake to share over a cup of tea, and the loveliest way to showcase homemade seasonal strawberry jam.
