Grease two 20cm sandwich tins and line the bases with greaseproof paper circles, before dusting lightly with flour.<\/li>\n<li>Beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is really light and fluffy.<\/li>\n<li>One by one add the eggs, ensuring you beat each one in well before adding the next. Finely grate the orange zest into the mixture and fold with the flour.<\/li>\n<li>Divide the cake mix between the prepared tins. Use a spatula to spread it out and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Another way to tell if your cake is if it is golden, risen and a skewer comes out clean when you insert it.<\/li>\n<li>Leave the cake to cool in the tins. Gently turn out onto a wire rack to cool fully.<\/li>\n<li>Mix a few drops of rosewater into the jam but be sparing with it as it is very strong.<\/li>\n<li>Moving onto the crystallised petals, turn the oven down to 110\u00b0C\/225\u00b0F\/gas 1. Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks. Grab a pastry brush and coat the rose petals on both sides with a very thin layer of the egg white. Sprinkle over some caster sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Shake off the excess sugar and place the petals on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Bake them for three to four minutes in the oven, or until the petals are firm.<\/li>\n<li>For the vanilla cream, split the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Whip the cream with the vanilla seeds and sugar until you get soft peaks.<\/li>\n<li>Spread the jam and afterwards the vanilla cream over one of the cakes. Place the raspberries on top and then gently place the second cake on top.<\/li>\n<li>Dust the cake with icing sugar and decorate with the crystallized rose petals however you like. Carefully place on a cake stand, slice up and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Jamie said: &#8220;This classic afternoon tea Victoria sponge recipe is about precision sponge making, wonderful jam and gorgeous Jersey cream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For those looking for a more chocolatey dessert this weekend, why not try Mary Berry&#8217;s chocolatiest of chocolate sponge cakes?<\/p>\n<p>The delectable dessert is &#8220;super easy to bake&#8221; according to BBC Good Food.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/food\/1818419\/victoria-sponge-cake-recipe-jamie-oliver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weekend is here which means it&rsquo;s the perfect time to treat yourself and indulge.
