Classic Victoria Sponge

It’s strawberry season and I’ve been throwing together a lot of cakes and treats recently. AClassic Victoria Sponge is always a tea time winner, and has to be one of my favourites. A light and fluffy sponge filled with fresh strawberries and vanilla cream with a hearty dusting of icing sugar to finish. I must say the summer fruity filling with freshly whipped vanilla cream take this traditional cake to new heights.

Strawberry Jam

I love a bit of strawberry jam slathered on toast, mixed in my porridge or on a freshly baked scone. So after I had been strawberry picking I decided to give jam making a go. I scanned the interweb until I decided on a simple 3 ingredient recipe. Best to start off basic in the world of baking I think! Strawberries, sugar and lemon juice bubbled away to make this fruity batch of Strawberry jam. It’s jammin’!
