Quintessential tea cakes! I like to add freshly sliced fruit to the jam....

Victoria Sponges are notoriously tricky in my family, with the old adage that "Granny used to make brilliant ones". I realise now it must be the adherence to strict measurements that was causing problems - doing it proportionally makes a brilliant, light and very buttery cake. This set of instructions is going to be my standard sponge from now on.
