Giving Back to NYC

Since New York City and surrounding areas are still in such desperate
need of help, I thought I’d post links to some of our favorite NYC-inspired
recipes, in the hopes you’ll think to yourself, “After all the delicious food
the Big Apple has given to us, the least I can do is give a few bucks to the
Red Cross to help them out.” After enjoying some pizza, cheesecake, blintzes, and pastrami, please follow this link and give what you can. Thanks and enjoy!

That’s goodtoknow

This Victoria sponge cake will keep up to a week in an airtight container or you can freeze the individual cake bases without the filling on them, to make the cake at a later date.

Ingredients

  • 220g soft unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 220g caster sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 220g self-raising fl our
  • 6 tbsp raspberry jam
  • 1–2 tbsp icing sugar

Method

  1. First prepare two 20cm sandwich tins by greasing them well with butter. Line the base of each tin with a circle of baking parchment cut to fit.
  2. Put the soft butter and the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and almost white in colour. This is easiest with an electric beater but you can also use a wooden spoon.
  3. Lightly whisk the eggs together in a small jug or bowl. Add to the butter mixture a little at a time, beating constantly.
  4. Now sift in the flour in 3 or 4 additions. Fold in the flour each time with a large metal spoon. Be careful not to knock the air out or the cake will be heavy.
  5. Divide the cake mixture equally between the 2 sandwich tins and level the surface. Place on the middle shelf of an oven preheated to 180°C/Gas Mark 4 and bake for 25–30 minutes, until well risen and golden brown.
  6. To check if the cakes are done, press one gently in the middle with your finger – it should spring back up. If you’re still not sure, insert a skewer in the centre – if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked through.
  7. Remove the cakes from the oven and leave in the tins for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edge of each one to loosen it if necessary. Turn out the cakes on to a wire rack. Leave to cool completely. Peel off the baking parchment and put one of the cakes on a serving plate.
  8. Spread the raspberry jam over the top of the cake. Put the other cake on top of the jam. Then sift the icing sugar over the top through a fine sieve.
