Introduction
A classic British Victoria Sponge Cake as seen in the TV show Succession, featuring two light sponge cake layers sandwiched with fresh whipped cream and homemade strawberry jam, finished with piped whipped cream and fresh strawberries on top.
Step 1
Combine 600 grams of fresh strawberries, the juice of one lemon, and 440 grams of sugar in a pan. Mix well and let macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Bring the strawberry mixture to a simmer over low heat and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours until it thickens into a jam consistency.
Step 3
Combine all the dry and wet ingredients for the Victoria sponge cake (flour, baking powder, sugar, cubed butter, and eggs) into a stand mixer bowl and mix until fully combined and smooth.
Step 4
Divide the batter evenly between two greased cake pans and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 30 minutes. Once baked, remove the cakes and let them cool completely.
Step 5
Place the less attractive cake layer on a cake stand. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top, then spoon the cooled homemade strawberry jam over the cream.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Ensure the cake layers are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
Prepare the jam in advance as it needs 1 to 1.5 hours to simmer and thicken properly.
Using the less attractive cake round as the bottom layer guarantees a neat and flat top surface for decoration.
