Victoria Sponge Cupcakes
Description
This recipe for Victoria Sponge Cupcakes starts by creaming together equal weights of sugar and salted butter until fluffy. Eggs are added one at a time to ensure thorough incorporation, contributing to an even, tender crumb. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt are sifted and added gradually to avoid over-mixing, preserving cake lightness. Warm water is used to slightly loosen the batter for good consistency.
The batter is portioned into paper liners and baked at 350°F until the tops turn golden and spring back lightly when pressed, supporting a tender yet structured cake. Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess and prepares them for decoration if desired.
These cupcakes capture the essence of a Victoria sponge cake in handheld portions, ideal for serving as party treats or an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 6 oz sugar
- 6 oz butter salted
- 6 oz all-purpose flour
- 3 egg
- 2 tbsp water warm
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Cream the sugar with room temperature butter in a stand mixer, until blended and fluffy.
- Add one egg at a time and continue mixing. Once it is well incorporated, add the second egg. Then when well blended, add the third egg.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking powder. Then add this flour mixture, 1 tbsp at a time, to the creamed ingredients.
- Once all the flour has been added, add warm water, 1 tbsp at a time.
- Scoop cake batter into each paper liner. Place in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and there is a spring to them, when depressed with a finger tip.
- Cool on a wire rack and when cool, decorate if desired.
