I made a classic victoria sponge birthday cake for my father in law, John who turned 80 yesterday. Filled with strawberry jam and butter icing. This cake is always a popular choice!
This recipe reminds me a little bit if sticky toffee sponge receipe. It has a lovely toffee smell when cooking. The dates are soaked in butter and hot water and then mashed up to create a toffee like substance. Heres the link to the BBC recipe website Date and walnut cake recipe . I sprinkled sugar and walnuts on the top.
