Suitable for queens, kings, princes, princesses, duke and duchess and your entire (royal) family.Made with layers of vanilla genoise sponge that has a great texture (not too light like chiffon) and sandwiches with our house-made four-berry jam.This cake is covered in lightly-sweetened fresh cream from France. A lovely, dainty cake that’s delicious too! An All Things Delicious take on a classic cake: the Victoria Sponge.A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORYLegend has it that Queen Victoria (Queen of UK from 1837 until her death in 1901), seemed to be suffering from a “sinking feeling” at around 4 o’clock in the afternoons. We all are quite familiar with this “sinking feeling” at 4 o’clock, aren’t we? I for one, have suffered from it all my life!One of life’s greatest pleasures: tea time was thus invented and the Victoria Sponge is named after the Queen as it was her favourite cake! If you, like me, enjoy delving deeper into history, read on. It will come to no surprise that this “simple” cake became the Queen’s and everyone's favourite at the time, not at least because of the invention of baking powder.THE INVENTION OF "CAKE"Cake, as we know of it now, was invented when baking powder poofed into the scene. Before baking powder, the cake wasn’t such a piece of cake! Cakes prior to 1856 were made using yeast (which made cake-making a very long 12-24 hour process) and with too much elbow-grease whipping eggs!Thanks to its inventor, Mr Alfred Bird for creating this magical white substance that bakers the world over can’t live without!ALLERGENSGluten, Dairy, EggsSHIPPING, PICKUP AND RETURNSExciting Fulfilment Updates at All Things Delicious!
