After getting very into The Great British Bake Off this year and being so certain of who I thought would win (ahem Ruby) I couldn't wait to get baking! I had a good look at the wide variety of cakes and other yummy looking treats and decided on this Victoria sponge cake, it turned out to be extremely scrummy and I couldn't wait to share the recipe with you all, so here you go!
For the sponge
- 175g Butter (unsalted) room temperature
- 175g caster sugar
- 1 Lemon zest grated
- 175g Self-raising white flour
- 1tsp Baking powder
- 3 free range eggs
For the filling
- 150g Strawberries, sliced
- 3 tbsp Strawberry jam
- 150ml Double cream
- 4 Strawberries to decorate



Serve with tea, or if your not a tea drinker like me HOT CHOCOLATE, just in case you aren't about to consume enough calories!
