200g self raising flour 200g caster sugar (or granulated) 200g softened butter (or margerine) 4 eggs, beaten 1 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 30g strawberry jam pastry creme aka thick custard (leftover from vanilla crowns recipe) Make the cake (usual method - see link to the Victoria sponge vlog) once cooled, trim the top off one to create a flat surface and cut both in half, it all needs gentle handling. Pop the bottom onto a plate, and spread the pastry creme on top (thickly), gently put another layer of cake on top. Spread jam (raspberry or strawberry) and another generous layer of pastry creme on top. Lower the last layer (apart from the top) on top and spread a thick layer of pastry creme on top. Lower the top of the cake and dust with icing sugar or if you want to take it further, cover the whole cake in buttercream. Baking instructions: BAKE setting 140c/280f 45mins (cake is cooked when it hits internal temp of 98c/210f) Airfryer temps all similar no matter the brand, just check in the last 10 mins as some are quicker than others. Leave to cool completely before cutting in half for layers. Once assembled...... Enjoy!
Looks yummy Kerry, I get a flat top with my sponges, I fold a long piece of foil about 2" wide and put it over the tin, tuck it under the tin then in Airfryer. I don't know how to send you a photo 😊
Glad you made this scrumptious cake 🍰 using your pastry cream/custard. Italian rum cake is another use. I thought another use is some cream puffs across the pond and it said Profiteroles in the UK. My sister in law freezes the empty profiteroles and then defrosts them and filled with chicken salad or egg salad on sweet pastry custard. Just a thought. I thought what a great idea for air fryer.
Evening Kerry, looking forward to this one, those cakes looked perfect. You should try to use dental floss to cut you're cakes although I've not attempted it yet, lol. What a shame it was down to you to taste test 😂😂😂. Have a lovely evening xxxxxx jac 💚❤️
@budgetcookinguk you're very welcome Kerry, like I said, I've not used it but seen loads who have. Hope you have a great day, pouring here this morning 😕 xxxx Jacs 💚 ❤️
Yummo - that looks so tender and moist Kerry! Mary Berry did a blind taste test with Michel Roux Junior because he said cakes should only be made with butter and she said baking margarine produces better results. Guess what she was right and the baking margarine won!!! I know we should not eat it very often but hopefully an occasional treat is ok! S❤

Hi kerry - cake looks absolutely scrumptious - looking forward to making this but what size of cake tins did you use,? Xx
Very tempting Kerry …. I have the smaller ninja so will have to make a diddy 4inch layer cake or use my small loaf pans …sure it will taste the same 😀
Aww fab, I know 5 inch round cake tins fit the ninja 300. 👋😀💕
Thanks Kerry …I did not know that …I think it would be a good idea to get some as when I use the 4inch ones they disappear in one sitting !😀❤
I'm on my way haha . . . .
See you in a bit!👋😂💕💕 always welcome Catherine 'pun queen' Crevice
So glad you did not freeze pastry cream hahaha
Me took Jennifer😄👍💕the cake went down very well and Valerie got a large slice😋😋😋💕
