Beginner Hollywood Recipe One Bakers Like Is For The Victoria Makes, Perfect A Paul The Photo/haarala Pa Sandwich, Hamilton Picture:
The best starting recipe for beginner bakers, Victoria sandwich is a classic cake that is sure to impress guests.
Best known as the steely-eyed judge on The Great British Bake Off, Paul Hollywood has shared his own recipe for Victoria sponge, which he describes as the perfect first cake for novices.
“If you’re new to baking, this should be your very first cake. If you get it right, everything else will be easy,” says Paul Hollywood.
“You can make a Victoria sandwich using the all-in-one method, where you mix everything together in a bowl at the same time, but I encourage you to cream the fats and sugar together before adding the eggs, flour and raising agent, as you’ll learn a lot about baking this way.
“Baking is a science. That’s why, in this recipe, we weigh the eggs first and then adjust the quantities of the other ingredients to get the perfect balance.
“Traditionally, it’s filled with just jam, but if you’re feeling indulgent, feel free to add whipped cream or buttercream.”
