    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Citrus
    Yield: 9 Servings

    1 c Cake flour; sifted
    1/2 c Sugar; divided
    4 Egg yolks
    1/2 ts Lemon extract
    10 Egg whites
    1 ts Cream of tartar
    1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 c Sugar
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract

    Sift flour and 1/2 cup sugar together 3 times; set
    aside. Beat egg yolks at high speed of an electric mixer
    4 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Add lemon
    extract; beat at medium speed an additional 5 minutes or
    until thick. Set aside. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add
    cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form.
    Add 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time; continue
    beating until stiff peaks form. Sprinkle one-fourth of
    flour mixture over egg whites; gently fold it in. Repeat
    procedure with remaining flour, adding one-fourth of the
    mixture at a time.

    Divide egg white mixture in half. Fold vanilla into half
    of egg white mixture. Gently fold beaten egg yolks into
    remaining egg white mixture. Pour half of yellow mixture
    into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan; then gently add half
    of white mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining
    mixtures. Gently swirl batters with a knife to create
    marble effect. Bake @ 350┬║F/175┬║C for 45 to 50 minutes
    or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert
    pan carefully. Let cake cool in pan 40 minutes. Loosen
    cake from sides of pan using a narrow metal spatula;

    Title: Victoria Sponge Cake
    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Dairy
    Yield: 9 Servings

    12 tb (170 gr) unsalted butter;
    - softened, more to grease
    - pan
    1 1/3 c (166 g) A-P flour
    3 1/4 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    3/4 c + 2 ta (175 g) granulated
    - sugar
    3 lg Eggs; room temp
    2 tb Whole milk
    1/2 c (120 mL) raspberry jam; more
    - to taste
    1 c (240 mL) heavy cream
    1 tb Confectioners' sugar; more
    - for dusting
    1/4 ts Vanilla extract

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC and place a rack in the center.
    Grease and line the bottoms of two 8" round cake pans
    with parchment paper.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder
    and salt.

    In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar
    until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs,
    one at a time, until incorporated, then beat in milk,
    scraping down sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in
    flour mixture until combined, then scrape into prepared
    cake pans, smoothing the top.

    Bake cakes until golden brown and springy, and a
    toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to
    30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then unmold them
    onto a wire rack to cool completely, flat side down.

    Transfer one cake (the less attractive one) to a serving
    platter, and spread jam evenly on top. In the bowl of an
    electric mixer, whip cream, confectioners’ sugar and
    vanilla just until it holds stiff peaks. Dollop about
    half the cream on top of jam, then top with remaining
    cake. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve
    immediately, with the extra whipped cream on the side.
