VICTORIA SPONGE VOTED AS THE NATION’S FAVOURITE CAKE
A recent poll by Cakes to Your Door has revealed the Nation’s Favourite cake as the good old ‘Victoria sponge’. It was closely followed by the chocolate cake with the fruit cake taking third place.
51 per cent voted for the classic Victoria Sponge recipe as their favourite ever cake, with the chocolate cake taking 30 per cent of the votes. Taking its name from Queen Victoria herself, who often indulged in a slice of the sponge cake filled with jam with her afternoon tea, you couldn’t get a more quintessentially English cake than the Victoria sponge, and it seems that it has stood the test of time as the nation’s most loved cake.
Kevin Slatter, owner of Cakes to Your Door explains: “There are not many who’d turn down a cup of tea and a slice of cake mid afternoon, just as Queen Victoria favoured all those years ago. The classic Victoria sponge is light enough for a summer afternoon tea as well as an indulgent winter cosy up treat.”
Cake and tea is quintessentially English, and the Victoria sponge holds its own in this respect. Many people say that the cake is almost iconic and as it’s also one of the few foods that can be divided up to be shared and enjoyed.
“The Victoria Sponge is also a versatile cake, you simply can’t go wrong with its basic recipe of flour, butter, eggs and sugar with a butter cream and jam filling. It’s the perfect party cake – full of spongey goodness and it also one of the top choices for wedding cakes as it makes for a lighter alternative to the heavy fruit cake.
“For that extra special celebration, decorating your Victoria Sponge is a must, but often producing a masterpiece for an important celebration is by no means an easy feat; and in some cases it can create a real headache. Cakes to Your Door has been created with that in mind to create a hassle and stress free option for everyone to choose a beautiful crafted celebration cake, ordered online and delivered straight to your door,” concludes Slater.
