The Victoria Sponge

Victoria – Quintessential Queen. The nation's favourite. Light fluffy vanilla sponge, sandwiched together with the finest British strawberry jam and naturally flavoured vanilla butter cream. The Victoria Sponge was recently awarded with a Gold Star in the prestigious Great Taste Awards!

Our Victoria Sponge Cake is made with only the very best ingredients and is over 3 inches high with a sumptuously thick layer of vanilla butter icing and crushed strawberry jam holding the moist and flavoursome layers of sponge cake together.  Victoria Sponge is available as a wedge, a 7 inch cake or a 10 inch cake. For delivery details in the UK please see Cake Delivery or contact us for delivery elsewhere.

What makes The Victoria Sponge

Upper vanilla sponge layer: Protects the icing and jam from the wandering fingers of filling thieves. Vanilla butter icing: Responsible for the shiver down the spine when the first mouthful is taken. Crushed strawberry jam: Supports the icing and delivers a powerful fruit kick to the experience. Lower vanilla sponge layer: Light enough to float, yet moist and flavoursome. Keeps the jam and icing off the table.

Georgie from London

Yum Yum Yum another delicious sponge, Victoria Sponge is definately one of my favourites and what a lovely surprise after the first week in my new job! Making friends in the office right, left and centre! Trying to convince them to sign up for a subscription. Thank you Sponge!

Roz Horton from Verwood

We discovered your cakes at the New Forest show and brought a Victoria to try. Well what can I say, the best cake I have ever had, dare I say it, even better than my mum makes! So we ordered another and it arrived today.

Vicki from hartlepool

we bought a slice of cake at sandringham show, it was delicious really light and fluffy and very very tasty i would go so far as to say the best victoria sponge i have ever tasted mmmmmm

Faye Murch from Worksop

I sent the Victoria Sponge to my Grandma (89) for her Birthday. She said the sponge itself was delicious but she found the filling rather sweet for their liking. I was dissappointed about that as I was hopeful to subscribe them to recieve regular sponges. Service and delivery was spot on. Although from my point of view it may have been nice to recieve an email/text to say it had been dispached.

Phill Heward from coventry

is it possible to buy a victoria sponge anywhere that does not contain buttercream, jam only. i hate buttercream and the only way to enjoy a vic sponge other than scrape the middle out first is to make my own.

Dawn Rowlands from Solihull

The nicest victoria sponge I've ever eaten. You certainly know how to make a good sponge. Can't wait to try the other flavours (and more Victoria Sponge and Bakewell Sponge - yum!).

Vicki Webber from Sudbury.Suffolk

Anna Morris from East Grinstead

I discovered your Victoria Sponge whilst doing Thursford Christmas Spectacular (not brilliant for a dancers waistline but soooooooooo tasty!) Imagine my utter delight when I recently found out you can get them online!!! It is the best Victoria Sponge in the world!!

Jane from Woodbridge

I bought 2 slices at Lowestoft airshow, both me and my son loved it, us oblivious to the bad weather!!

Mrs Nest Owen from Abergavenny

The best VS we have ever tasted, loved the packaging too. We are a busy household with carers and sitters in and out all day and we got about 16 slices out of the 7in cake which made it good value. We bought on a whim, so glad we did. We have just ordered another one for neighbours that are not very well and we hope the cake will make them smile.

Achim Lemmerich from Zurich; Switzerland

Absolutely fantastic. Best cake I ever had - I just wish that Swiss supermarket would import these cakes.

The JellyBean Team from Notts

A Classic. Our absolute best seller. Lasts about 5 minutes in the shop!

Vicky from Norwich

Cakes are delicious, very good size portions and I would particularly recommend the apple crumble sponge. I'm looking forward to tasting the seasonal special!

Graham Turner from Gt yarmouth

Well, i don't think we will sell these cakes just sit and eat them ourselves. Luxury should not be shared!!!!!!!!

Criticism

Tim from London

I bought the Victoria sponge from Selfridges. It looked enticing but I was very disappointed in the taste. Far too much vanilla flavour (and smell of vanilla). It made it seem too synthetic which was a shame because looking at the ingredients they should be really natural. Possibly just too sweet as well. Needs toning down and then could be perfect?

Sponge says: We all tried the Victoria over Christmas & decided we had got a little over generous with the vanilla extract and have reduced it slightly since. Tim has promised to try it again and give feedback!
