Marmite Victoria Sponge Cake

Having made a Marmite cake for my friend’s birthday last week , I decided to refine the recipe and make a classic Victoria sponge filled with jam, dusted with icing sugar and, of course, containing my favorite ingredient Marmite.

Ingredients

• 200g soft margarine
• 300g caster sugar
• 4 heaped tsp of Marmite
• 200g self raising flour
• 3 eggs
• Strawberry jam
• icing sugar to dust

In a large bowl cream together the sugar and margarine with either and electric whisk or wooden spoon. When light in colour, beat in the Marmite.   Add one egg at a time, then beat into the sugar and margarine mix with a little flour. The remaining  flour should be gently folded into the mixture with a metal spoon.

Once finished, grease two 20cm cake tins and divide the mixture equally.

Cook at 180ºC for around 20 minutes or until golden and cooked. Allow to cool, then sandwich together with jam and dust with icing sugar.

Sit back and enjoy with a cup of tea
