Gluten-Free Lemon and Summer Fruits Victoria Sponge Cake 🌞🌞

I made this summery, fruity Victoria sponge cake which couldn’t be any more of an opposite to the rainy, grey weather we’ve had recently! Here’s the recipe I promised yesterday! It’s super easy to make and the cakes come out really pretty too 🙂

Ingredients

1. 190g GF Self-Raising Flour

2. 190g Caster Sugar

3. 190g Butter

4. 4 Eggs

5. 2 tbsp Lemon Juice

6. 1/4tsp Xanthan Gum and Baking Powder

7. Frozen Summer Fruit Berries

8. 200g Icing Sugar

9. 100g Butter

10. Jam

Method

1. In a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together.

2. Then add the eggs, flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and lemon juice.

3. In two lined cake tins, pour half the mixture in one and half in another.

4. Around the edges push in a mixture of frozen berries.

5. Bake in the oven at 170o for 20 minutes (or until golden-brown).

6. Take out the oven and place on wire racks until cool.

7. Then add a layer of Strawberry Jam to one of the cakes and then pipe icing around the edges.

8. Place the other cake on top and decorate to your liking with more buttercream, berries and lemon slices!
