Me and Little e made this Victoria sponge cake on Saturday from my Jamie Oliver book. I've not made many cakes before, so this was kind of an epic thing. It had a lemony sort of flavour, with this yummy strawberry goop in the middle, with cream.
It turned out alright, though I'll do a few things differently next time. Instead of 'softening' the butter, I completely liquified it in the microwave, and I think that meant it wouldn't whip up and make the sponge fluffy. So it was more like the love child between a sponge cake and a mud cake, but never mind.

Thanks Al. It kind of looked a bit better than it tasted, but a bad cake with jam and cream is still pretty good.
