Your Victoria Sponge looks great. I was taught this method in school cookery classes 64 years ago. Unfortunately my husband is type 2 like you Martin but recently is gluten intolerant as well. I made your marble cake using gluten free SR flour and Truvia caster sugar for baking. It turned out fine. You could try that so Martin could have some cake. You'd just need a different filling. Love your videos.
Second time I have made this Victoria Sponge with your method Sharon. This method was completely new to me but will be my go to recipe now. Thanks for sharing, brilliant tasting sponge.
Just came across your videos lately and have subscribed Martin and Sharon love watching you both and your lovely family Martin your some busy guy and yous make me laugh so much thanks for the enjoyment God bless you all
Ohhh Help!!!!! That is one of the 7 wonders. And Martin..... that would do for me & me alone😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You make it look so easy Sharon!🎉 Well done ❤❤
Looks great. I have an Instant double drawer AF and the drawers aren’t quite as wide as ninja. So I will use two small loaf tins - so it will be an oblong Vic sponge.
Sharon I'm so happy you did this recipe, my granny taught me this about 40 yrs ago and everyone I said this way laughed, I've always done cake this way
Well you two, you’ve made some great scran as we say in Yorkshire and you’ve persuaded me to get a ninja it’s coming tomorrow I can’t wait and I shall be doing your recipes with my granddaughters too. The best of regards to you and yours ♥️
By the way, I have just baked a couple of cakes with the recipe of level ingredients, in this case 6 eggs, six ounces of floor, touch of baking powder, six ounces of sugar. The main difference from yours is that I beat the eggs and sugar until doubled, then fold in the flour, and all turned out light as a feather, and I am about to finish off one loaf size piece. The other has to be cut in two and butter cream and jam. Added a little bit of vanilla essense.
I have never heard of this method, I am wondering if you could cut back to half the sugar. Also, for Martin's sake, have you ever tried Keto cake recipes using almond and coconut flours and sugar substitutes. There are some amazing recipes that I have made. I would like to see him enjoy a sweet treat without compromising his diabetes.
Thanks for the video. Another great one! Haven’t bough an air fryer yet and really want to get one for our van so it’s going to be a small one unfortunately. Just a query re timings on this one. A traditional Victoria sponge in my fan oven at 160 degrees takes 25 mins. I thought an air fryer usually speeded cooking times up? I thought you were going to say it only needed 15-20 mins. Can you advise please? You’ve got such a vast amount of experience with the air fryers I’d be really grateful. Many thanks.
@@butlersempire thanks so much for that…got a lot to learn but like the idea of using one in our camper if we can compromise on size/functionality!! Keep up the good work👍👍
Hi Martin & Sharon, I had a halogen oven which has now broken and I’m seriously thinking of buying a Ninja twin draw air fryer. I like to ask you a couple of questions. ( if you don’t mind) If the ninja heat is on 200 degrees on both draws are you heating/ using 400 degrees all together? and Can you make a quiche with pastry in it and scones? Hope you don’t mind me asking. Great videos by the way.
You should always stork Marge for sponges as it has a high water content and makes them rise more( HRH Mary Berry). Rather than weigh the eggs you can use use you gram amount then weigh eggs and add milk to make up the egg weight e.g. use 8oz of self raising flour weigh 4 eggs and make up to 8oz using milk.❤
Sharon, I've been using this weighing method for about 50 years. This has never let me down for all the kids birthday cakes🎂 in the distant past 😂.❤️🇬🇧
Got my Ninja AF400 a few days ago after doing lots of research and following many of your videos. I was worried I’d bought one too big as often cook for just me since my husband died last year. But… I cooked my own Yorkshire puddings yesterday for a roast dinner with my son and his partner, roast potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips all in the air fryer. (Meat cooked in slow cooker, green veg in microwave). It was lovely, so thank you for inspiring me. Today I cooked a Victoria sponge following your recipe as well and it’s perfect. I’m determined to cook more ‘proper meals’ for me now I don’t have to heat my big oven just for me. Choosing the AF400, which seems big for one person, is a game changer. I can use one or both drawers and can cook for just me, or more when I have visitors! You both make me smile and I love learning from you and sharing in your lives. Thank you so much x
My favourite rr use make my mum one ,yours cooked nice in ninja, iv air fryer but try , love fresh cream I normally do butter n icing sugar wipped up but fresh cream looks better Sharon, thanks showing
Your GP Is mis informing you Sue, that's why no one who is under a GP never get's any better with type 2 Diabetes. Check out Dr Jason Fung, Dr Ken Berry on TH-cam on Diabetes.
Martin you are so lücky shaz b is One of the smart women dont get her back up She is top ďraw love you both family ås Well be Safe my your god go with you kev ķev
Thank you guys for making me fall in love with cooking I love the simple way it’s explained I make Yorkshire pudding perfect now your the best so glad I came across your channel obsessed 🙏🏻🐝🏴🇬🇧😁
Hi Sharon and Martin hope your all well I must say I love your Victoria sponge cake. And the very clever way of measuring the ingredients brilliant thank you so much your number one fan Angela❤
hi martin hi sharon hope u are well going to be testing out your lovley cake very soon made me hungrey lol keep the videos coming all the best for the furture
Like your videos, you too work well together. But the thing that rags me is the word. Full Metal jacket been in the forces for 6 year . Full Metal Jacket is all about the abuse of some young people took there own lives in the forces because of abuse.
My last boarding school’s jam sponges had a secret hidden ingredient - essence of wet canine! I kid you not - they smelt of wet dogs! How? We called them sewage farm cakes!
I’ve literally baked a Victoria sandwich, for the very 1st time tonight and it was a disaster. I did at the request from my 86 year old mother. I’m 61 years of age and ever baked a cake in my life, but I gave it a go ….I WISH I HAD SEEN YOUR RECIPE EARLIER. . LOVE YOU GUYS. XX
Hi Martin and Sharon I think you found your niche in the cooking world . I enjoy every video you make. I always ending up feeling hungry 😁😁😁. I look forward to your next video . Good luck and best wishes
Yummy yummy. Can’t wait for my afternoon cuppa. Sadly like you. The old diabetes stops you having to much of the nice things, however you can have an odd treat, as long as you go steady with it.
Many years ago I won a competition for making a Victoria sandwich, at a local fête once. We all had to use that recipe, except we didn't put vanilla in it. It came out exactly like yours. In fact, I had to make two, as whilst one was cooling my son took a great big bite out of it, so I had to quickly make another. I'll have to make a cake in my air fryer one day. Thanks for all the great videos.
Hi Martin and Sharon, i've never heard of doing it this way before, i will do it your way next time. I always make Yorkshire puddings the way you do Sharon. I've just made a Victoria sponge going of the bero book recipe. I did 7 ozs of flour, sugar and marg and 3 eggs and some vanilla extract. I did it at 140 degrees for 25 minutes, i think my tins were either 8 or 9 inch, i did it in the dual blaze. I did forget to take the crisper plate out but they didn't turn out too well, i maybe had the temperature too low. I'll have one more go using your recipe and if it doesn't turn out then i'm going back to my main oven for cakes
I've never seen this method for the ingredients. Will have to give it a go. My friend used lime marmalade instead of jam, you had to be quick to get a slice. Yum.
Did you know you can buy Baking equivalent in the UK now caster sugar,brown and icing sugar sweeteners. We are both type 2 and I use these for baking now.
I have the same air fryer as you and tried the grey silicone but after 45 mins the bottom of my coffee cake was soggy , maybe silicone is not the best for cakes?
Loverly sponge Sharon. I applaud Martin’s willpower on not eating any cake. 👏👏
Yeah ,I remember that method from home economics ! It's a foolproof recipe .Works every time .Thanks for jogging my memory ☺👍
Looked a gorgeous Victoria sponge, the texture of the sponge looked so good
I would be tempted to have a lovely piece with hot custard.
Yummy
👍👍😁
Eeeeeee stork remember that in a friend’s house Eeeeee that faces sharon like you where in a carry on movie 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻that’s a winner xxxx
Looks lovely, you made a great job of that Sharon well done, Martin your right in saying sitting down with that and a mug of tea lovely jubbly 🍰☕😋
Looks lovely 😊 going make at the weekend with my grandson thank you Sharon, Martin 😋
Every time I watch one of your videos it reminds me of home. Thank you.
So nice of you
Thank you both for making these videos - super and very enjoyable.
Our pleasure!
Looks great we are going to try baking using the easy measurement method. Thanks again for another great video 😊
Looks lovely Sharon, I could just eat a piece, it's a shame Martin couldn't have any
Hi Sharon and Martin. Great tip for the amount of ingredients it looked delicious well done.
Thanks so much
Looks wonderful! I do love a crusty outside layer. Great video as always, thank you!
Thanks so much! 😊
looks great ,im glad it was soft, it probably wont last very long ,enjoy

You guys are the best, could you use this recipe but make it a chocolate cake?
Yes you can!

Hi they look yummy. What temperature setting please?

Yes, we have done many Keto breads and cakes Anne. I don't normally eat cakes though.
How come no cake Martin 🤔 but you have burgers and fry ups 🤔. Cake looks lovely 😋 👍
I may eat a complex carb but not sugar at all.

Yes Anne it may take the same time but the element is a higher wattage in a conventional oven.

Hi Martin & Sharon, I had a halogen oven which has now broken and I’m seriously thinking of buying a Ninja twin draw air fryer. I like to ask you a couple of questions. ( if you don’t mind)

Can you make a quiche with pastry in it and scones?
Hope you don’t mind me asking. Great videos by the way.
Both draws heat independently of each other, yes you can do those things in them no problem
Yes of a nice area lol😂

Margarine is absolutely disgusting stuff!!
@@DMDBOTH in your opinion. I would not have it on bread but in cakes it is good
@@karennayir6833mine too. Unnatural gloop. Butter for the win.
You can tell you have lost weight Martin
Ooooh Sharon's left handed too. All the best people are...aren't we ?☆☆☆☆☆☆
Sure are..... 😊
Sharon don't look that much left handed to me, watch this video again, most of the time she is using her right hand.
I am too! I knew where was a reason I loved Sharon! 😂
Yes I am left handed x
@@shazb4874 I thought you were more ambidextrous, like me 👍
Sharon, I've been using this weighing method for about 50 years. This has never let me down for all the kids birthday cakes🎂 in the distant past 😂.❤️🇬🇧
Wonderful!
I always weigh the eggs first too Sharon , I first got told this years ago by an elderly lady I worked with xx
Looks delicious Sharon, never used your measurements before but will do from now on. Thank you Sharon and Martin for your intuitive videos. X

Thanks so much
Just put my first ever Victoria sponge in the af 😋😋x
My mouth's watering. Fortunately, I've got a sponge cake cooling down which I baked in my Cosori. Happy eating!
That is an interesting tip, weigh everything the same as the eggs. I have not heard of doing this before. I will try it!!
hi martin hi sharon hope u are well going to be testing out your lovley cake very soon made me hungrey lol keep the videos coming all the best for the furture

Like your videos, you too work well together. But the thing that rags me is the word. Full Metal jacket been in the forces for 6 year . Full Metal Jacket is all about the abuse of some young people took there own lives in the forces because of abuse.
It means having everything in our version.
@butlersempire fully loaded that's having everything on it.
NOT FULL METAL JACKET
@@khogwood81 Mate, chill out, its my thing. I don't want an argument on it.
That was my Grans recipe.Sunday afternoon tea.she made buttercream filling flavoured with camp coffee YUMM TO DIE FOR
My last boarding school’s jam sponges had a secret hidden ingredient - essence of wet canine! I kid you not - they smelt of wet dogs! How? We called them sewage farm cakes!
hiya sharon like martin i am type2 diabetic. can the sugar be substituted with fake stuff ( candrell )
I don't use sweeteners at all.
Yummy… I use fresh strawberries and cream on the centre for special occasions. Thanks for doing a live for it
Looks really lovely, luv a spongey sponge. 🥰❤👍
As always, great video. The sponge looked so spongy. Many thanks u 2 :)

Great recipe Sharon, it looks delicious.😋👍
Thanks so much
Can I cook the cake without the crisper trays.. my ninja foodie isn't as deep as yours?
Yes you can .
@@shazb4874 😉 Thank You so much..
Yummy yummy. Can’t wait for my afternoon cuppa. Sadly like you. The old diabetes stops you having to much of the nice things, however you can have an odd treat, as long as you go steady with it.
That's right Karen. I prefer savoury treats than sweet stuff though.
Looks great Sharon I'm going to try this recipe for my Husbands Birthday cake. 🎂 Thank you
Mmm it looks lovely iv just sent for 7 inch cake tins will it be OK to use them for this cake great videos x
Just add an extra egg and add extra ingredients as we showed.
No end to your talents Sharon, looks delicious keep a bit back for me I'm on my way.🤣💞
You’ve done it again Sharon that looks delicious…oh yeah I’m a lefty too 👍x

Looks great. Where did you get the tins from please? Ive looked at your list and cant seem to find them on there.
I used Charlotte tins but I am sure you will get some on Amazon
ooooooo love love cake and that one looks a beaut! Just a thought maybe you could make butter out of the left over cream 🤣as a cheaper method???? 🥰🥰🥰

Love this recipe- going to try it in my corsori. Hair looks lovely Sharon
lovley sponge sharon.GREAT tip about using the weight of the eggs etc-never heard that before,i will do this in future thankyou x
Thanks Shazz for this I have been wondering if this would work xx
You’re welcome 😊
How did the fruitcake turn out? I’ve not seen it yet will keep scrolling till I do. Lol another amazing air fryer sensation lol keep it up.😊
Did you know you can buy Baking equivalent in the UK now caster sugar,brown and icing sugar sweeteners. We are both type 2 and I use these for baking now.
I do the same as you Sharon, always weigh the eggs first xx
What are the plastic bags you store your stuff baking powder in please
Just purchased an Air Fryer. Should be delivered shortly, and look forward to going through your recipes
Hope you enjoy it!
Lovely looking cake, too naughty for me, sadly on a diet, great video guys, 👍🏻❤
Have you backed off of the Keto mate? It’s harsh that’s for sure! Hard to do visiting loved ones and friends
Not on Keto, we just are low carb.
@@butlersempire top man, love the vlogs!
That one made my mouth water..pass the eggs and flour let’s get cooking
Bloody hell. I wish I could cook like the Baby. Unbelieveable. ❤❤❤❤. Aussie Bob 😊😊😊
that turned out nice and you behaved yourself for the whole video Martin 🤣🤣🤣
I do sometimes Steve lol
Looks lovely never herd to weigh like that brilliant, another great video, thank you 😊 x
Not David. Joyce here. Using his tablet as mine's on charge.
What happened to the Keto diet.?
Not on the Keto diet, we eat low carb, We are not on a diet. We do have to taste the food we make as we buy and make as we are a food channel.
Could you put sweetener in there instead of sugar ? 🤔
I don't see why not but you'd have to guess as it's lighter than sugar.
Would these pans sit inside the cosori 8.5L Dual basket
Looks lovely Sharon, will definitely try. Thank you❤
I have the same air fryer as you and tried the grey silicone but after 45 mins the bottom of my coffee cake was soggy , maybe silicone is not the best for cakes?
