In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each until incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture until incorporated. Be careful not to over-stir or the cakes will be dense.

Rathfinny’s Sussex sparkling wines are made using classic methods, which have been honed over the course of centuries, but are also low-intervention and sustainably produced. All four of their vintages are produced by the Traditional Method, which is where the secondary fermentation takes place inside the bottle, and the lees left inside while they age (for a minimum of twenty-four months for rosé, and thirty months for the other sparkling wines) to give them distinct autolytic notes. However, there are also a number of less traditional practices also in place on the estate, such as the growth of plants between rows of vines to encourage insects like parasitic wasps, which reduces pests on the vine whilst minimising the use of chemicals.

To make the buttercream, beat the butter, powdered sugar and milk until smooth and creamy. If it’s too dry, add a little more milk (careful, a tiny bit goes a long way). If it’s too runny, add some more powdered sugar. The chilli is subtle, but this paste is creamy, well rounded and moreish, and incredibly versatile — a great cook’s ingredient, but also perfect for dipping. Located in Malmö, Sweden, Taste of Britain is a little independent shop providing our international family with all their favourites from Britain.

There’s also a nice selection of cookbooks. I collect English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh cookbooks, and I couldn’t resist adding Pride and Pudding: The History of British Puddings by Regula Ysewijn to my collection. You can simply spread the buttercream onto the cakes with a knife, but for a more decadent look, fill it in a pastry bag with a round tip. Traditionally Victoria Sponge Cake uses caster sugar, very finely granulated sugar. Instead we’re going to use organic pure cane sugar with its natural caramel-like flavor and cream it with the butter for several minutes to create a fluffy mixture that will be incorporated into that delicious sponge cake. As this is a British dessert it’s only fitting that I’ve enlisted the help of a British product to make them. Tate+Lyle® Sugars has graced Britain’s finest tables, including those of royalty, making it an integral part of England’s epicurean history for over 130 years. I was first introduced to their products during the 6 years I lived in England. I’m thrilled to have been reunited with a few of their fine products. Pipe a dot in the center of the bottom cake half and pipe 4-5 more dots around the center dot. Spoon some jam on top, carefully helping it to run between the dots for a prettier presentation.
