It's hard to beat a freshly baked Victoria sponge cake. Barney Desmazery shows you how to make this classic bake in a few simple steps. He adds a buttercream and jam filling, but you can get creative with any filling you like – lemon curd and whipped cream also work wonderfully.

question

I am new to baking, my basic scones, cup cakes and muffins are turning out perfect, but every time I attempt a sponge cake, the middle of the cake sinks and is still wet. .I follow the recipes to the letter, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you LuLu, we have a gas oven, and bake the sponge cakes on the middle shelf, the edges of the cakes are done to nearly burnt, but middle sinks + wet. I left the cakes in for 10 mins over the prescribed time. Should I move the oven racks higher or lower in the oven do you think?

Hi, We haven't tested this recipe with an egg replacer but we have vegan sponge cakes on this websites that use an egg replacer like flax seeds. I hope this helps, Lulu
