Anna's jubilee cake

Anna, who lives in Glasgow,  has submitted this recipe and picture to Eatingideas.  She made a Jubilee cake to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond jubilee.  It looks absolutely delicious and I cant wait to try it out.  I particularly like the way that the fresh fruit makes it look like a healthy choice

To make it, she based it on a BBC recipe for Victoria sponge detailed below: 

Ingredients:

8oz softened butter, 8oz caster sugar, 4 medium eggs, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 8oz self raising flour, a drop of milk.

 Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180C.

Grease cake tins

Cream butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy

Beat in eggs a little at a time and add vanilla

Fold in the flour and add a little milk to give a soft consistency

Divide mixture into cake tins (Apparently Anna only used 1 cake tin then cut it in half)

Bake for 20-25 mins, golden brown and clean skewer Sandwich cakes together with strawberry jam and add whipped double cream and fruit to the top.

Thanks to Anna for this delicious and very patriotic cake.  Its a winner!!!
