How_to_make_the_perfect_Victoria_Sponge_cake.txt
The slot openen vianenVictoria Sponge is a two-layer cake filled with jam and cream that was a 19th-Century favourite of Queen Victoria. The American chef, author and food stylist Claire Ptak uses brown sugar instead of white because it not only yields a moister cake, but as Patk explains, "works so well" with fruits such as its hero ingredient: strawberries. Ptak also believes that the cake is a "really good example" of her melding of English and Californian styles.
