Vickys 'Free-From' Victoria Sponge Cake, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys 'Free-From' Victoria Sponge Cake, GF DF EF SF NF
Just a very basic, everyday free-from cake recipe, easy to adapt to other flavourings. I used 7" tins in the main picture but on hindsight I should have used slightly smaller ones so I've instructed the use of 6" tins with their cooking time. If you double the ingredients you could use 7" or 8" tins instead for achieving thicker cake layers, just add an extra 15 minutes or so onto the baking time. Or use 4 x 7" tins to construct a gateux-styled 4 layered cake

Classic Vanilla Sponge Cake Classic Vanilla Sponge Cake
This is the most basic sponge cake, but it tastes so moist and fluffy. For healthy reason, I replaced the butter with vegetable oil, the topping cream is whipped cream not butter cream. This could be the most healthy cream sponge cake ever, but not vegan.

Sponge Cake Sponge Cake
I confess that I was really inspired by a book called "A Book That Answers your Why? Questions About Making Sweets" by Kazuyoshi Aihara. I highly recommend you read the book for further details.I reduced the calories of the recipe listed in the book as much as possible.There are 4 important key points; if you do these properly, then you can make a beautiful sponge cake. If you use the same ingredients in the exact same order, then this is the key to not failing in mixing it. If you remember this, then there is nothing to fear. ＊When beating the eggs, please add in vanilla essence if you like. Recipe by Osshosan
