Victoria sponge with filling......

[knowabit]

Im making a Victoria sponge and usually i put jam and buttercream in middle. I was wondering if i could chop strawberries in small pieces and mix them in the buttercream and then spread it in middle of cake? Would it work?

[Jumbo747]

Indeed! Yes please.................

[DTCwordfan]

ask B00

but yes, that would work....

As to the sponge, add the egss very, very slowly for a lovely moist cake.....

The juice from the strawberries might make th buttercream a bit loose so you might want to chop thm then leave them in a sieve, sprinkled with a little sugar for a hwile to draw out the juice.

[woofgang]

You can blend that sweet juice into the buttercream (drool)

[Ratty2E]

You could Woofgang but then that would defeat the object of drawing it out in the first pace lol

[woofgang]

well no because you can adjust the buttercream at that stage to take account of the extra liquid

[B00]

No, it sounds crap. In fact, don't bother tasting it, i'll do it for you. It'll be a hardship- but i'll persevere (i'm kind like that)

[TWR]

I thought you are on a diet Boo?

[boxtops]

Need a taster BOO? I'll volunteer (Mmmmmmm) :-0))

[B00]

Can I get to clean the bowl then, BOO? I always offered as a child, (after a fight with 3 siblings), I'll do a good job - honest............. Yummy!!

[B00]

No, that's mine too, go away :P

[Zhukov]

Grind some Black Pepper on your Strawberries....lovely

[Nibble]

Lick a spoon - Promise I'll be nice.... :-D

[B00]

[Nibble]
