then stir in 6 oz of flour
pour into two tins and cook at gas 4 (180) for 20-25 minutes, you can use 8,8,4,8 if you want a larger cake.

Mine is the same 6oz flour 60z sugar 6oz margarine and 3 eggs, I replace 3 tbsps flour with cocoa powder to make a chocolate cake and then cream together with buttercream yummy

I agree with other posters, but I also cheat by adding a teaspoon of baking powder. You need to sift the flour too.

Everyone compliments me on me well-risen cakes. Hee- hee!:j

Even weirder - I tried victoria sponge in the forum search box and it only came up with this thread at the top. There were no other mentions shown in the thread titles.

I have never found what I'm looking for using search and finding the index can be difficult too.

Strange :think: Have you got 'show threads' or 'show posts' selected when you use the search box?

Well, I don't know it always behaves itself for me lol-most peculiar.

I use 8oz butter, 8oz sugar, 4 lg eggs, 7oz self raising flour, 1oz cornflour, 1 tsp baking powder, 3 tbsp milk.

180 C/Gas mark 4 for 25 mins.

The good thing about this one is I whack it all in the food processor (no sieving neccessary!) and mix till smooth and I have never had a disaster with it and the cornflour keeps it light.
