Try an easy autumnal twist on a classic Victoria sponge with this spiced version

10/20/2020

The Victoria sponge is a simple cake, traditionally served with cream and jam in the middle, but this recipe has a bit of a twist.

The spiced version from Cuisinart is perfect for autumn and while they bake it in a Bundt tin to give it a slightly different shape, cooking it in a standard round tin and sandwiching cream between it works just as well.

The base is a classic light cake but the flavours of cinnamon and nutmeg make it ideal for the season.

It’s ideal for novice bakers as it can be whipped up in just a few steps.
