- Bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed.

VICTORIA SANDWICH CAKE
The Victoria Sandwich (named after Queen Victoria) was originally shaped in a long loaf, filled, and cut into fingers or "sandwiches." It has become the quintessential round cake that every English homemaker has had in her repertoire from the time of its royal debut, both the original and, in the decades since, countless versions and incarnations. This is a small everyday cake meant for tea rather than an elaborate celebration. And, because it's made with "self-raising flour," it's an everyday kind of cake to make. (Note the similarity of the ratio of ingredients to pound cake.) You'll find almost this exact recipe for Victoria Sandwich or Sponge in every British baking book.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 8" round cake pans.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl after each addition.
- Add the extracts, if you're using them.
- Add the flour, beating gently just until well combined.
- Divide the stiff batter evenly between the cake pans; there'll be 11 to 12 ounces of batter in each, depending on the size eggs you used.
- Bake the cakes for about 20 minutes, or until they start to pull away from the edges of the pans. Remove them from the oven, cool for a couple of minutes, and turn out of the pans onto a rack to cool completely.
- When the cakes are cool, place one layer on a plate. Spread with the jam of your choice.
- Whip the cream - 2/3 cup cream makes a medium-thickness layer of filling; 3/4 cup cream, a thick layer. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, or to taste, as you whip the cream until it's quite stiff. Stir in the vanilla at the end.
- Spread the whipped cream over the jam. Top with the second layer of cake.
- Brush the top of the cake with syrup, and sprinkle with coarse white sparkling sugar, if desired. Or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
- Refrigerate the cake until you're ready to serve it. It'll be at its best within 12 hours; but is still quite good up to 2 or even 3 days later. The difference will be the whipped cream, which will gradually settle/compact.

- Whisk the self-rising flour and baking powder together in a medium bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar and butter and beat using an electric or hand mixer until light and fluffy at medium speed, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the mixture; you’ll want to make sure that each addition is fully incorporated before pouring in more egg mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix at low speed until just combined, taking care not to overmix the batter.

- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4. Grease and line the cake tins with butter and baking paper.
- Weigh the eggs – 3 medium eggs in their shells weigh around 175g – then use this same weight for the butter, sugar and flour.
- Put the soft (but not oily) butter into a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a food-mixer and beat well with a wooden spoon or the whisk attachment until very creamy and mayonnaise-like.
- Break the 3 eggs into a small jug, add the ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract and beat with a fork just until the eggs are broken up. Gradually add to the butter mixture a tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl from time to time.
- Sift the rest of the flour onto the mixture. Start to gently fold in the flour with a large metal spoon or plastic spatula and after two or three movements add the warm water.
- Divide the mixture between the two prepared tins - if you want to be really precise, use your scales, or just do it by eye, then spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the sponges are a light golden brown, and starting to shrink back from the sides of the tin. (Check the sponges after 15 minutes and if they aren't baking evenly rotate the trays.)
- When cooked, take them out of the oven and run a round-bladed knife around the inside of each tin to loosen the sponge. Leave for a minute to firm up, then carefully turn out the cakes onto a wire rack.
- If you are using cream, put a bowl and whisk (or whisk attachment) in the fridge to chill.
- To assemble the cake, set one sponge crust-side down on a serving plate. Using the back of a tablespoon, evenly spread the sponge with the 6 tablespoons of raspberry jam.
