Victoria sponge

A friend made me a cake and brought round and it was so light compared to mine. What is the secret ?? I use soft marg should I use butter ??

Maybe it was lighter than yours because it was smaller ?

Ha Ha !! I like it.

for years all my cakes turned out heavy - you could build houses with them! many years later I found that if I added an extra teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture and then bake, they turned out lovely

I`ve never manged to make a decent sponge they have always turned out like biscuits. Mum was fantastic at making them & I`ve even made one exactly the same as here at the same time.....still biscuits !!!!
