Ingredients
- 225g Unsalted Butter (Must be room temperature)
- 225g Caster Sugar (Fine grain works best)
- 4 Large Eggs (Whisked lightly)
- 225g Self-raising Flour (Sifted for lightness)
- 3 Fresh Peaches (Sliced thinly)
- 300ml Heavy Cream (Chilled)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (High quality pure extract)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease two 8-inch sandwich tins thoroughly.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl until the mixture is pale and fluffy to provide lift for your Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich Recipe.
- Add the eggs one by one, beating thoroughly after each addition to prevent curdling.
- Fold the sifted flour into the mixture gently using a large metal spoon to maintain the air bubbles.
- Divide the batter evenly between the tins, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the sponges are golden and spring back when touched.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before assembling your Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich Recipe.
- Whisk the chilled heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Spread a thin layer of cream over the base sponge.
- Arrange the sliced fresh peaches evenly across the cream layer.
- Place the second sponge on top to complete the Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich Recipe.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired for an elegant finish.
Notes
Ensure all dairy products are at room temperature to prevent the Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich Recipe batter from splitting during mixing. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture with a light hand to keep the cake airy and light. Use a metal skewer to test the center of the cake, ensuring it comes out clean before removing it from the oven. Allow the sponges for your Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich Recipe to cool completely before adding the cream to prevent melting. Whip your cream just before assembly to ensure it remains stable and holds its texture throughout the serving process.
