Victorian Sponge Cake

Just finished baking & decorating a Victorian Sponge Cake for Victorian Day tea party at my son's ( Year 6 ) school tomorrow.  Learning history with a bit of fun.

Baked 2 round sponge cakes, spread the bottom cake with strawberry jam, laid some strawberry slices. Then spread the whipped cream & put the top cake on the bottom cake. 

Spread strawberry jam & strawberry slices on bottom layer of the cake

Then spread a layer of whipped cream

Finaly decorated the cake with whipped cream, strawberries & sprinkled with icing sugar.
