I made it for my birthday! I made the lemon curd and the mascarpone one day before baking the cake because I couldn't find these ingredients to buy where I live (Brazil). I replaced the raspberries for strawberries just because they are easier to find in my local store. I absolutely love the recipe and the final result! It's rich in flavour! I'm having a piece of cake as I write this message. Thanks for sharing!
Jamie - nearly 50 and have never made a cake in my life - this was my first recipe and method try and came out with 4 perfectly light light sponge which are now an instant hit. Thanks
Hi Jamie, you're the best, I'm going to give it a go, it's very hard to make a sponge only because there's so many variations & most of them look good but have no taste. I personally think that a sponge or cake should taste great when it's plain & when you add cream or fruit etc., it should bring out the flavor/s even more. I'm going to give it a going & let you know. Thank you & keep on cooking. Ciao Ciao
So glad that you made the Victoria Sandwich without adding vanilla ! North Americans add vanilla to everything they bake ( or so it seems ) and it disguises the lovely flavour of the butter and eggs. Lovely simple all in one recipe - thanks.
I made this cake yesterday... the best cake ever! Absolutely crave worthy. I substituted Nutella for the lemon curd and good vanilla for the zest. It took longer that 20 minutes to bake, more like 35 minutes, but it came out a treat. Thanks, Jamie!
Absolutely delicious Cake Jamie! I don't understand the hate towards Lemon curd, it did not ruin a thing. My girlfriend and her whole family loved it. The only thing that was slightly different was the time it spent in the oven but other than everything was like you've said :)
Right now I'm watching this August 16th 2015 and its 10:05 pm and this is making me so hungry. You make very beautiful food looks so delicious! I will have to learn to make this one day! 🍰
Hola, te felicito, me encanta tu cocina, veo tus programas y ahora los videos e aprendido muchisimo, me apasiona cocinar. Ojala hubiera tenido la posibilidad de aprender cuando era joven, pero cada cosa a su tiempo. Desde mi hermoso pais ARGENTINA, UN SALUDO.
I don't get paid until wednesday, and my cupboard currently has: flour, pasta, rice, eggs, salt, ketchup, butter. If I don't die of scurvy in the next few days, this cake is the first thing I'm making after my next shopping trip.
Looks super simple indeed and so beautiful and fresh, perfect cake to end the Summer with. And you reminded me how I love lemon curd, gotta make it again. I'm drolling all over just by thinking about it :P Thanks for that video Jamie!
What an inconvenient method to half your cake Oo I saw a tip ages ago which really words great: Lightly scoring around the outside with the tip of a knife then inserting a fine piece of string(dental floss for example) in this shallow cut and afterwards just crossing and pulling the strings. Works like a charm
I love when chefs say measurements. Their "eyeballing" is usually quick off. As a frequent baker that uses measuring spoons, I can see that he used about half a cup of curd, almost a cup of mascarpone, and just under 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Just in case you were to make this, you have the more reasonable measurements! ;)
I'm going to do the cake in a minute. I just did the Pork chops and they're popular. Although I wish I could find a decent butcher. These Aldi chops are about half as thick as yours Jamie.
That's a buttercake in this video, not a sponge cake. Food processors don't allow enough air to be incorporated into the batter, and they over develop the gluten ( make the crumb tough).
I was taught to weigh the eggs first, then weigh equal quantities of flour, sugar, butter - this way you get consistent results as eggs can vary in size and weight whereas the other ingredients can be easily portioned
I so very much want to come to your house for some of that cake. My favorite memory is my Grandmother making me an angel food cake, with holes poked through with a skewer, that were filled with lemon icing. It was a birthday cake. The only one I remember she ever made for me. It was so freaking good. And I have never had anything like it since. If I could replicate it, I would put 100% dark chocolate on top, for the perfect cake for me.
I love your channel! I run a Culinary Club at my college, where I teach how to cook healthy and tasty on a budget and these tutorials are beyond lovely! Thanks so much and keep on keeping.
It's lemon jam or lemon preserves but it's an opaque color because it's also made with butter. Here's are the ingredients for your reference: 4 unwaxed lemons, zest and juice 200g/7oz unrefined caster sugar 100g/3½oz unsalted butter, cut into cubes 3 free-range eggs, plus 1 free-range egg yolk from BBC
Could you write down the ingredients and mesurments for you recipes? It's annoying to have to go back constantly to hear what he says. Here is what I have : 250g butter 250g sugar 250g flour 4 eggs zest of an orange 4 tablespoons lemon curd 5 heaping tablespoons mascarpone 1 tablespoon sugar zest of an orange juice of ½ an orange vanilla
Charlotte Cameron I hope no one has tried to bake the cake using your list. Without a raising agent it won't come out very well. It needs to be either self raising flour or ap flour and baking powder.
How ungrateful, the man is giving you a recipe for free... you just gotta watch it and do it. No catch, no strings attached, no money... nothing.. and you still complain?
How can people hate Jamie? He is the cooolest cook out there.

Just tried this. Turned out awesome! This is now my go to recipe for a sponge
Jamie - nearly 50 and have never made a cake in my life - this was my first recipe and method try and came out with 4 perfectly light light sponge which are now an instant hit. Thanks
He doesn’t measure the dry ingredients??????
He licks the spoon and his fingers and then he didn’t measure any ingredients?????
He did. The bowl was sitting on a scale. He'd pour the flour in there, measure, then put it in the processor. Same work the sugar, etc.
Whenever a professional writes super easy you just know it will be a mission to make it look and taste half as good! ❤️

Jamie's recipes will get "like" even in 100 years from now on...he's old ,he's new and always will be in trend
Can’t believe I can make cakes better than Jamie Oliver!
THIS IS A FANTASTIC RECIPE!!!! I made it and brought it to office. Everybody loved it!
So glad that you made the Victoria Sandwich without adding vanilla ! North Americans add vanilla to everything they bake ( or so it seems ) and it disguises the lovely flavour of the butter and eggs. Lovely simple all in one recipe - thanks.
Thanks to you Jamie, I lost my fear of toying in the kitchen and now cook every day for my daughter and me! I am a pretty decent cook actually. :)
Jamie, you are simply the best!!!
I made this cake yesterday... the best cake ever! Absolutely crave worthy. I substituted Nutella for the lemon curd and good vanilla for the zest. It took longer that 20 minutes to bake, more like 35 minutes, but it came out a treat. Thanks, Jamie!
Fresh sponge, fresh mascarpone cream and lemon curd is the type of combination that's right for me.
Absolutely delicious Cake Jamie! I don't understand the hate towards Lemon curd, it did not ruin a thing. My girlfriend and her whole family loved it. The only thing that was slightly different was the time it spent in the oven but other than everything was like you've said :)
Aww, this looks scrumdiddlyumptious, I can't wait to make it! ❤️ Your thee best chef Jamie 💕
I have just tried this recipe and it was really delicious & easy to make!! Thank you Jamie

you know you have the perfect ingredients to make this thing called "omurice" its a japanese food-ish. basically rice wrapped in omlet, its great!

make some tea from pine needles, you won't get scurvy.
I don’t know if I should be worried about you not having enough food or about the fact that you put your butter in the cupboard
Well if you have flour and pasta at the moment you are doing good!!!!
Did this today! Absolutely delicious. My boyfriend loved it!
I hope you are still together
Looks super simple indeed and so beautiful and fresh, perfect cake to end the Summer with.
And you reminded me how I love lemon curd, gotta make it again. I'm drolling all over just by thinking about it :P Thanks for that video Jamie!
Esse bolo e a coisa mais apetitosa e simples de se fazer, lindo!!❤❤
I made the recipe. The best and easiest sponge cake ever. THANK YOU!
Made that for my husbands birthday, so easy to do even for me and everyone loved it so much!
you can use pastry cream. Easy to make. I have many videos of how to make this on my main baking channel or my RecipeBasics channel
I used to use a double layer of sewing threads, grab each end, hold cake close to your apron and gently pull thread through cake. works like majic.
Looks like a cake fit to be served at a party in a Jane Austen movie...Very lovely Jamie...MEGA YUM!!!
Es muy acogedor y reconfortante el atardecer viendo esta deliciosa receta de Jamie Oliver.
He makes everything so easy I love this guy
What an inconvenient method to half your cake Oo
I saw a tip ages ago which really words great: Lightly scoring around the outside with the tip of a knife then inserting a fine piece of string(dental floss for example) in this shallow cut and afterwards just crossing and pulling the strings. Works like a charm
..have just put this sponge in the oven over a bed of fruit..an alternative to a crumble..cant wait to see how it turns out..!
This was very helpful thanks for the instructions because it looked easy and understandable
Most delicious and simple recipe ever! Thanks!
I'm baking the cake, as I'm reDing mine one has been in the oven for 20min but it will take more than that. Anyway it look so yummy. Thank Jamie!
Just made this Gorgeous Cake 🎂😋 Thank You Jamie Oliver it's turned out a Beauty 💋
the combination is win, win, win, win, win, win, win!
I love cake that has more filling than sponge.
I made this today and i used vanilla pudding(made by my from egss milk and other ingredients) and the sponge is soooooo fluffy
It is delicious !!!
Simply delicious... Thanks for the recipe..

I am making this tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
That is absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to give it a go!
That is looking very yummy for my little little tummy.
I'm going to do the cake in a minute. I just did the Pork chops and they're popular. Although I wish I could find a decent butcher. These Aldi chops are about half as thick as yours Jamie.
Made it and absolutely loved it. The flavours are very well balanced, sweet and sour and creamy. Thank you Jamie!
lovely . thanks Jamie i really like your recepies.
Just made this cake lovely.
Easy .
Only thing had change was time in oven.
Thanks from Surrey .
The best recipe wirh minimum effort and maximum results!
The cake doesn't look light and spongy at all! Aren't you supposed to whip up the eggs first to incorporate maximum air?
Nooo
That's a buttercake in this video, not a sponge cake. Food processors don't allow enough air to be incorporated into the batter, and they over develop the gluten ( make the crumb tough).
This first think I noted no fluffy sponge not use waste ingredients to try this recipe soon I see the one ready made said no
Oh Gosh!!! It looks -I'm sure it tastes too- so delicious!
This looks so simple, yet it looks so great... I wish I could cook like that.
It really is simple. I love Jamie
Lovely, just lovely. Can we get the best recipe for home made lemon curd? Thanks a bunch!
Looking for an excuse to make this! I've never used orange before. Looks delicious 👍
This looks so lovely. Would this be considered a traditional English sponge cake?
You're my favourite chef Jamie! Please come back here in Australia! :D
Amazing one my best cakes that I have baked
Looks spectacular! You always make it look so easy :)
Best sponge ever I make it all the time now its my go to sponge
So glad to hav a sponge cake video!!
lovely yummuuuuuu , ty Jamie
I make mine with no sugar but use fruits instead comes out amazing

Hi Jamie, the lemon curd is a very good idea! Do you have a home version recipe for it? Greetings from Hungary. ☺️
Love this. Rock on!
I came here for your birthday video :) Happy Birthday, Jamie my man!
That does look gorgeous
It's lemon jam or lemon preserves but it's an opaque color because it's also made with butter. Here's are the ingredients for your reference:
4 unwaxed lemons, zest and juice
200g/7oz unrefined caster sugar
100g/3½oz unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3 free-range eggs, plus 1 free-range egg yolk
from BBC
Очень аппетитно и без заморочек!!! я не знаю английского,но все понятно!!!
best cake recipe I've made
I like separating the egg and fluff the egg white to make the cake airy and fluffy
Looks great!
I made it for my mum's birthday she loved it and I am only 14 and is not hard to do
Could you write down the ingredients and mesurments for you recipes? It's annoying to have to go back constantly to hear what he says. Here is what I have :

250g sugar
250g flour
4 eggs

5 heaping tablespoons mascarpone
