victoria sponge redux

well, I tried it again. I used the right size tins, I checked that the oven was the right temperature with a thermometer, I even softened the butter Just In Case.

and still, my cake was more like a biscuit. An uncooked biscuit at that.

my sponge making days are over. Gloom.

That looks beautiful. My sponges never rise that much. I'm content with flat cakey things.

Do you have a fan oven and a recipe for non-fan ovens?
