A Classic Victoria Sponge – Because Good Things Stand the Test of Time

National Baking Day is all about enjoying time in the kitchen, whether that means baking cakes, preparing family meals or simply making space in the fridge for weekend treats.

For a timeless baking classic, why not try a traditional Victoria sponge cake?

Like all the best traditions, some things simply stand the test of time – and as Forbes celebrates 100 years in business, we’re appreciating the classics more than ever.

A Victoria sponge has remained a favourite for generations thanks to its simplicity, reliability and timeless appeal... qualities we like to think have helped define Forbes too.
