Victoria Sponge Cupcakes
Victoria Sponge Cupcakes are light, classic cakes made by creaming salted butter with sugar, incorporating three eggs gradually, then gently folding in a mix of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Warm water is added to loosen the batter. The cupcakes bake to a golden top with a springy texture, indicating doneness. Cooled cupcakes can be decorated as desired, producing small individual cakes that carry the mild, buttery flavor of a traditional Victoria sponge in cupcake form.
