Victoria Sponge Cake
Posted by at 9:43 PM
On Monday we were invited over to Pip's house to try her attempt at making Victoria Sponge Cake. This is a trial run of the cake she has promised to make her boyfriend Paul, who is moving to Sydney in a couple of weeks. When Jess and I found out about the cake trial, we graciously volunteered to offer our opinions (i.e. eat yummy cake) - keep in mind Jess and I didn't even know what Victoria Sponge cake was before talking to Pip.
Pip lives a great location in Clovelly with hilltop views of the ocean. Being my first time in Clovelly, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sights. But enough about the view, lets get back to cake. The other judges were Pip's sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew, and friend. When we arrived, Pip had just completed putting the final touches on the cake...and it looked spectacular (see pics below)!
We all agreed that the cake tasted great, but could be accompanied by some fresh fruit (maybe strawberry or passion) to really give the taste buds a kick. Notice that at the end there was no cake leftover...I call that very thorough judging.
