Victorian Sponge Cake story


A long time ago, Italian cooks were known for their baking skills. Many of them were hired in English and French households. During that time, they developed a soft cake by replacing yeast with beaten eggs. Later it became Queen Victoria’s favorite. She delighted herself having the afternoon tea served with the soft cake. And she even developed her own style, having the cake to be sandwiched with jam and whipped cream. This is still popular in England with many other variations of sponge cake.
