Fruit Topped Victoria Sponge Cake

  Hello everybody!
This week's blog is another baking blog! I had an afternoon tea party this weekend (for a future post) but the main feature was a forest fruit Victoria sponge cake, since you like my baking blogs so much I thought I'd show you how to make the wonderful cake.




Makes : 10 slices  
Prep time: 15 minutes  
Cook time: About 20 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

   Ingredients:   
For the cake:
 200g caster sugar
 200g softened butter
 4 eggs, beaten
 200g self-raising flour
 1 tsp baking powder
 2 tbsp milk  

For the filling:
 100g butter, softened
 140g icing sugar, sifted
 Drop vanilla extract (optional)
 Half a 340g jar good-quality strawberry jam
 Icing sugar, to decorate
 Fresh berries, to decorate

Method:
1. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
3. Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed.
4. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
5. To make the filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in the icing sugar. Beat in the vanilla extract if you're using it.
6. Spread the butter cream over the bottom of one of the sponges, top it with jam and sandwich the second sponge on top.
7. Dust with a little icing sugar before serving. If you like, add various berries on top of the cake to decorate.
8. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

 

 That's all for this weeks blog post! I hope you enjoyed! This bake was very simple but tasted incredible! I will see you next week for another blog post! Love you all!

Outline Edits

  Hello everybody!
This week's blog post is quite short and simple, but I hope you will enjoy! It's Outline Edits! If you don't know what 'outlines' are, they are basically photos made to resemble pencil drawings. I have used various edits to merge the outline images with different backgrounds that I think compliment the outlines! I hope you enjoy...

 This post edit was inspired by the outlines hair. She has space buns which inspired me to go with a galaxy theme...
 

This next edit has a royalty theme in a way... this is because the girl in the outline is wearing a crown...
     

This next edit is fun and yummy, and by 'yummy' I mean it looks so good you want to eat it... SPRINKLES!!
 

Next, is a floral themed edit since the outline girl has roses in her hair and it is Spring so why not...?

 And last, but not least, one of my favourites.. no explanation needed...      

That's all for this weeks blog post! Sorry it was short, but I have exams starting tomorrow so studying has been a priority (hope you understand!) Tell me what your favourite edit was! I'd love to know! See you next week for another blog post! Love you all ssoooo much!!
Byyeee!!!!
