Fig Cake Fig Cake
This is a fig version of a fruit butter cake that came from my British mother-in-law who makes it with prunes.The original prune version tasted so delicious, so I looked for a good fruit substitute in Japan, and found figs to be the perfect fit!Since fresh fruit is used to bake this cake, it is also delicious on the day it is baked.The cake becomes more moist the next day, adding another level of delight.

Delicious Victoria Sandwich Cake Delicious Victoria Sandwich Cake
This is a classic cake from Britain. It's a simple cake that Queen Victoria was said to have loved, consisting of a butter sponge cake with jam in between the layers, and finished with powdered sugar on top. Traditionally, raspberry jam is used, but this time I put homemade fresh strawberry jam and simple cream cheese frosting. It's a very delicious cake that has a rustic and satisfyingly substantial taste.
