A tried-and-true recipe for this classic teatime treat. Serve plain dusted with icing sugar, or slice and fill with jam, fresh berries and whipped cream for a special Victoria sandwich.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

125g (4¼ oz) plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
125g (4¼ oz) icing sugar
225g (8 oz) butter, softened
2 eggs
125ml (4¼ fl oz) milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas mark 6. Grease a 20cm springform cake tin. Sift the flour and baking powder into a medium bowl and set aside.
 
2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time mixing thoroughly with each addition. Slowly stir the flour mixture in with the butter, sugar and eggs. Beat in the milk and vanilla until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin.
 
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 20 to 30 minutes. Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
