Recipe day!! Simple Victoria Sponge

So today I'll share a base recipe for all good sponges.
It's very simple, so maybe impress someone this valentines?

Victoria Sponge:

10oz stork
10oz caster sugar
5 eggs
10oz self raising flour
a few 'dashes' of vanilla essence

You can pretty much dash them all in and mix them at the same time. 

Dont bother with any baking powder.

Split the mixture into two 10" sandwich tins

Bake in the oven on gas mark 3 for 25 mins 

Fill it with butter icing and Jam

Butter Icing:

140g/5oz butter, softened
280g/10oz icing sugar
1-2 tbsp milk
