If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for the latest TikTok trend, you can breathe easy! The Scrub Daddy Damp Duster has finally landed in the UK.

Then gently whisk or fold in the self raising flour by hand. Divide the mixture between the tins, you can use scales for accuracy to get an even amount of mixture in each one. When lining the tins, I line the bottom with greaseproof baking paper, and grease the sides lightly with butter or margarine. Add the zest of two lemons to the batter, then use lemon curd instead of jam. You could also try another tangy fruit curd like blood orange or passion fruit. Of course there are always things that can go wrong when baking a cake, here are some common issues and how to solve them: The cake sank Make the sponge by mixing the butter/baking spread and caster sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer, or in a stand mixer, for 3-4 minutes until fluffy. You can also mix by hand, but an electric mixer will give the best results Welcome to the first post in my Baking Basics series! In this series I will be sharing recipes for basic baked goods, think perfect scones for afternoon tea, a brilliant white bread loaf, and ultimate gooey chocolate brownies! So basic in name, but definitely not basic in taste and enjoyment. This series is mainly for beginner bakers who want to learn the secrets behind baking, because getting the basics right is the best place to start. More experienced bakers will really enjoy it too, as there are so many delicious recipes to try out! And what better recipe to start this series with than a Victoria Sponge Cake. It's beautifully simple, enjoyed by everyone, and is a British classic that's known around the world.To make your own self raising flour, add 2 level teaspoons (a measuring teaspoon, not the kind you stir your coffee with) of baking powder to 200g plain flour or all purpose flour. Stir together well so the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour. I would advise making a batch of self raising flour, then you can store it in an airtight container and measure it out as and when you need it. Should you use butter or margarine for a Victoria Sponge Cake?

Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the jam (or you can pipe or spread the cream on first and put the jam on top of it) I’d also advise thoroughly wringing it out after each rinse. When it was too wet, it tended to push dust around rather than wipe it up. Final thoughts: Scrub Daddy Damp Duster Caster sugar - also known as super fine sugar, you can also use granulated sugar if you don't have caster sugar, or even golden caster sugarFor the full recipe with measurements, head to the recipe card at the end of this post. This post is full of helpful tips and commonly asked questions when making victoria sponge cake, so I do recommend reading through it all first. Why is a Victoria Sponge Cake called a Victoria Sponge Cake? For me, the best and most delicious way to fill a Victoria Sponge Cake is with jam (either strawberry or raspberry, but I do prefer strawberry) and fresh whipped cream. It seems that many people share this opinion, as it is a very popular filling. However, there are two other options, and everyone's got their opinion on which filling is correct and what their favourite is! One of the other options is to fill it with only jam, and in fact the Women's Institue insist on a raspberry jam only filling when you enter their baking competitions! The third option is to fill with jam of your choice and buttercream, which results in a sweeter cake. Which filling will you choose? To decorate or not to decorate? Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. For the full recipe with measurements, head to the recipe card at the end of this post. The ingredients The Damp Duster makes it simple to wipe away dust and debris with the rippled sponge holding dust to it when you wipe, rather than letting the dust fly away in the breeze. You can wash the sponge after every use and use it time and time again, and you can use it anywhere in the home – from your windows to your fences. It is also available in two colours, yellow and silver.

Sponges can be washed in cold water, using a little soap, but must be thoroughly air-dried before reusing. Should be stored away from sunlight. There are a few reasons for this, the main reason is the oven temperature being too high. Ovens vary massively and often the temperature on the dial is not the true temperature inside the oven. You can get an oven thermometer to verify this. Domed tops can also occur if too much raising agent is used, or if the cake tin is smaller than the recipe recommends. Variations Whip the cream with a whisk or electric handheld mixer until it forms soft peaks when the whisk is removed.In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to mix the butter (or baking spread) and caster sugar together until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract, again using an electric mixer. You can do this by hand, but electric mixers will give better results and speed up the process. While an electric mixer is not absolutely necessary, you will get better results and a lighter more fluffy cake if you use one, so I do recommend it. It doesn't have to be an expensive stand mixer either, a budget hand held electric mixer will do the job too! What are the cup measurements for a Victoria Sponge Cake? Eggs - large eggs are used in this recipe, and they should be room temperature before baking with them Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully incorporated, again using an electric mixer To make the sponge you only need four basic ingredients - butter, caster sugar, eggs and self raising flour. I've also added vanilla extract as a fifth ingredient because I absolutely love the flavour it brings to this cake. If you decide to use it, please only use vanilla extract, not essence, as the former is natural and tastes so much better.
