I found the cake mix very dense so I added two tablespoons of homo milk and that really lightened it and the cakes were perfect.

I think I will add a bit some stiffener to the whipping cream next time.

Apologies if I missed it in the recipe, but is the other half of macerated strawberries used? I only see half is spread over the cream before adding the top layer.

This cake is deliciously subtle. I loved that the chantilly wasn’t super sweet since the cake has plenty of sweetness. It was surprisingly easy and quick to make. So many compliments. Served it for a tea. Light and fruity. Thanks Zoe!!

My daughter can’t eat sweet things so I make her this lovely Victoria Sponge cake for her birthday every year. Last year I followed the recipe with strawberries. This year I did peaches and it turned out amazing!

In reply to Marianne. Hi, Marianne! Yes, it should work, just be sure to grease it well, so the cake doesn’t stick in the grooves. This cake is best eaten after it is cooled and because of all the butter will stiffen if refrigerated. Happy baking!

Zoe this looks like the best cake recipe for what I am doing. However I have one question. I would like to use a Tiera or Mary Anne Pan. Would you know if this would work.
Thanks

Hello! Can the cake layers be made on a Friday for assembly Sunday? I was going to make this with the quick jam and a mascarpone whipped cream frosting. Thank you!
