This is my go-to cake recipe! I just started to become interested in baking and this one my first successful cake! It tastes DELICIOUS and it's super easy to make! My whole family LOVES it! Thank for for the great recipe Donal!
i've already tried a few of your cakes (and other recipes) and i must say they all turned out PERFECT. whenever I have time to cook or bake something new I always go to your website for a recipe. thank you so much for all that amazing stuff that you share!
vanilla buttercream is amazing in this as well!! tip: if you put the cream on first, the jam doesnt spill over the edges of the cream, so it is much easier to spread and keep in place
Oh my, that is beautiful! Usually I don't like just classic things because, you know, I think it's to simple and decide to make profiteroles and soufflés...
I got this from my friend and i see it a lot in other victoria sponge cake videos/recipes but it makes a absolutely lovely touch to add sliced strawberrys in with the cream and strawberry jam.
Willowflower No it is not. Butter is yellow. The butter that IS white is the whipped butter and it's delicious and fresh. So if that british person commenting above has a problem with it, kick rocks.
Hello From St. Augustine, FL. I just made the cams tonight. It came out right, spongy. I will finish frosting it up tomorrow & eat it for breakfast before I go to my Dental cleaning, ha! Thank you.
i tried it....my family loves the cake .....glad i went across the border to get the Irish butter as my country doesnt import this particular brand.....best butter i ever tasted.
This cakes looks outstanding. I know I will be on with baking this tomorrow. Perfect to finish off my strawberry and champagne preserve on for an extra special touch! 👍😋😋👩🏻🍳
@@robertplantmusic this is a lovely cake. Perfect texture it’s also delicious sandwiched together with lemon curd or passion fruit curd! Never get 8 slices always go for a very generous slice. 😋🥰🤣Your traditional Irish scones are also a go to recipe for me! Never fail!
@@robertplantmusic Hi Donal. I’m not too far from Derbyshire and Chatsworth with its picturesque villages along with some quaint little tearooms. So, cake and scones always a winner! I would say reasonable (I love making cakes) and I’m very pedantic about them looking perfect and tasting perfect! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👩🍳🍰
Coincidentally I made this Cake last week (and using KerryGold as well! ) and OMG So buttery, light and delicious - a bit salty at the bottom but in a pleasant way actually. I didn't use jam but fresh strawberries. Next time I'll try the jam again.
My mom was a working mom and she wasn't a good cook XD but once, when I was like 11, she baked a cake for my sister's birthday, and it was ONE OF THESE! I never knew until now! hahaha Nice
I really enjoy your presentation donal and enjoy your vids. As a pro chef its so inspiring to see a food dude talking passionately about his food. Keep it up
Looks wonderful! You just can't beat Irish butter, especially Kerrygold! Now if they would only start selling an unsalted one too, like they do in the States...
Hello Donald. I’ve made already this cake a few times. I’ll make it today as my birthday cake. It’s really easy to make and it’s more than delicious. I’m looking forward to bake the chocolate cake also. Thanks. 😃
This brings back so many memories! I loved victoria sponges and also had a mild obsession with kerrygold where I wouldn't eat butter unless it was salted and kerrygold. Children are so strange.
Tip: pipe a border of cream around the edge of the bottom layer before you put in the jam. You can add a little more and it won't seep out between the layers.
Why are European cake batters so thick? In America we make them a LOT thinner and come out with similar results. It can go from almost watery to about hot chocolate consistency most of the time. We do often use oil instead of butter for a finer crumb, though, so that may be it.
Grace Sophia It depends on the cake and what you do with it. A well measured, thicker batter will result in a fluffy texture yet it will be firm and strong to carry the weight of other layers. Thinner batters are still fluffy and light yet are weaker. Plus, it depends on the type of cake. Chocolate cakes naturally turn out to be thinner which is best in order to get the light texture. Finally, it's also about preferences.
Will the cake be lighter if you beat the eggs till it forms soft peaks and then fold the eggs in the butter and flour mix? I want to make this cake but I am doubting over that question...
Ah, Kerrygold butter....the best!! Funny I always use salted Kerrygold butter in my baking, you just can't beat that flavour!! Thanks Donal...you are so right, it is the perfect summer bake! I'm going to a bar-b-que this weekend (Irish weather permitting of course...lol) and you've given me the inspiration to bake this to bring for the afters! :)
Yes, I've been looking for an amazing revive for twenty two weeks ( yes, I was counting!) and I've finally found it! Woooooo! By the way love your accent
That cake looks amazing Donal!!! It looks so cute & pretty. And the video & the quality of it superb. Its made so fine. I am sure Maxxie must have coming running asking for a piece for himself :P XOXO Love, Candy...
Looking delicious, I love strawberries! Would work well with caramelized apples as well, I reckon. Loved your beautiful antique cake plates, I remember you mentioning you love collecting them, and those look amazing.
hahaha...I have to say the Go Commando Cottonelle toilet tissue advert really gets the tastebuds going before watching your lovely food video....oh my!!! Aside from that my sons favourite cake is a Victoria Sponge! :D

Kerrygold Irish butter is SOO good!
True that
In Australia, Duck River is the money butter....literally, It's like $7.00 for 500g lol
I know right
Somehow an understatement
Totally agreed
Your enthusiasm and positivity brings me so much joy!!!
I got this from my friend and i see it a lot in other victoria sponge cake videos/recipes but it makes a absolutely lovely touch to add sliced strawberrys in with the cream and strawberry jam.
Love this butter it's nice and salty. Lovely cake
Best part of the video is Donal’s DOGGO getting amazed by the food. We need to see more of that lovely handsome dog in the videos .
Thank u so much for the recipe!! I made the best vic sponge ever!! The sponge was light an fluffy! I used golden castor sugar btw xxx
all butter should be creamy yellow/golden, don't know what the hell they have in america.
We have KerryGold.
A lot of the butter here (in the US) is white.
Willowflower No it is not. Butter is yellow.
The butter that IS white is the whipped butter and it's delicious and fresh. So if that british person commenting above has a problem with it, kick rocks.
I have sticks of butter in my fridge that are white.
Fehr AlMehdar yea we up in the white north got good butter
I made this yesterday, it was a massive hit with everyone at work.
+Stephen Lewis yay glad it went down well :)
Hello From St. Augustine, FL. I just made the cams tonight. It came out right, spongy. I will finish frosting it up tomorrow & eat it for breakfast before I go to my Dental cleaning, ha! Thank you.

Fun fact: the Victoria sponge cake is named after Queen Victoria. The Queen enjoyed a slice everyday for her tea... Thanks for video x :)
Harpal Kang I heard that Queen Victoria invent or probably "invent" this recipe.
You can t beat a good victoria sponge ...mostly at this time of the year when the berries are so delicious .... Good one Donal !!! Eric x

Kerrygold is the butter I've always used wooo
This brings back so many memories! I loved victoria sponges and also had a mild obsession with kerrygold where I wouldn't eat butter unless it was salted and kerrygold. Children are so strange.
I would like to go for a beer with this delightful chap.
Donal, this looks amazing! Great video :0)
You're video makes me feel better about everything. Thanks for sharing💕
Yum! And I love Kerrigold products.
OMG! What a lovely cake 😍 I wish I could find that kind of butter in my country..
All your videos are so uplifting! Thanks for the recipes :)

Yummm! I will try this very soon!

Thanks Donal!
Just wanna say, Donal looks so cute!

Grace Sophia you don’t want any crumbles in this cake and that’s why the batter is thick
Really can't wait to try this recipe, and thanks for the tip with the dimple in the middle :D
Will the cake be lighter if you beat the eggs till it forms soft peaks and then fold the eggs in the butter and flour mix? I want to make this cake but I am doubting over that question...
I like that he always gives us a full recipe. Some cooking channels never give us a written recipe. Then, how can we try that at home?
i love victoria sponge
I love this recipe it's so simple and easy to make and love it
Your cake looks delicious as always!
Thanks for your tip! I am going out to get Kerrygold butter to make this great cake. Yes, you can get Kerrygold butter all the way in Singapore too!!
You should team up with Mary Berry on something.
jillhbaudhaan haha would be fun!

That cake looks amazing Donal!!! It looks so cute & pretty. And the video & the quality of it superb. Its made so fine. I am sure Maxxie must have coming running asking for a piece for himself :P XOXO

Get that product placement $$$, Donal!
Looking delicious, I love strawberries!
Would work well with caramelized apples as well, I reckon.
