🥘 Ingredients
4 eggs; their weight in pounded sugar, butter, and flour; 1/4 saltspoonful of salt, a layer of any kind of jam or marmalade.
👨🍳 Method
Beat the butter to a cream; dredge in the flour and pounded sugar; stir these ingredients well together, and add the eggs, which should be previously thoroughly whisked. When the mixture has been well beaten for about 10 minutes, butter a Yorkshire-pudding tin, pour in the batter, and bake it in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Let it cool, spread one half of the cake with a layer of nice preserve, place over it the other half of the cake, press the pieces slightly together, and then cut it into long finger-pieces; pile them in crossbars on a glass dish, and serve.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
I tried Victoria Sandwiches this week and it was like taking a cozy, nostalgic trip back to simpler times. I was surprised at how easy it was to whip up this classic. My kitchen filled with a warm, buttery scent that instantly transported me to Sunday afternoons with my gran. This recipe is a perfect pick for the weeknight cook who wants a comforting treat without too much fuss. The trickiest part was waiting for the cake to cool before slathering on the jam—strawberry jam in my case. I found the key was to let it cool completely. Then, when I cut into those neat finger-pieces, it was like uncovering a little treasure. The simplicity of this cake is its charm. It's not about fancy techniques or exotic ingredients. It's about comfort, warmth, and a touch of sweetness. Next time, I'll try lemon curd.
