Don't mix.

My lovely chocolate sponge ended up as a chocolate sponge flop :(

    Try this.

    six and six and six and three.

    6 oz plain flour
    6 oz sugar
    6 oz marg / butter
    3 eggs.

    mix

    hot oven 180 degrees.

    split mix into two greased 8" cake tins

    bake for 20 minuets until slighty risen and brown.

    cool.

    spread with jam and cream.

    dust with fairy dust

    serve.

    25 minuet victoria sandwich...DONE!

    If you cant get that right, you or your oven is shafted.

    Oh, dont reduce the temp or cooking times on a fan oven, its bollocks.
