It’s this legends birthday today.
Dai Dragon
Best. Dad. Ever.
Dad, me, Grandpa Griffiths
Fancy he’s had to put up with that grumpy thing all these years.
Happy birthday Dad.
You fantastic, bionic, warm, encouraging, wise, loving, hero.
We love you.
Here’s your cake.
Fall-y off bit, bottom right (see below)
Victoria Sponge
12oz marg
12oz caster sugar
12oz Self raising flour
6 medium eggs
Cream the marg & caster sugar together until pale & fluffy.
Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well to avoid splitting the mixture (I almost made it, split at the last!)
Sift in the self raising flour and fold in with a wooden spoon. (If the mixture has split you’ll be able to rectify it at this stage.)
Spoon the mixture into two lined & greased Victoria sponge tins.
Bake at 160 degrees (fan oven) for around 25minutes. I needed a little longer as I think my oven temps a bit out. When the cake springs back in the centre or a skewer comes away clean, it’s cooked.
Leave to cool for 10mins then turn out onto a cooking rack (if a bit falls off, like this one did, just eat it)
When completely cool sandwich the two cakes together with Strawberry Jam & top the cake with a sprinkling of caster sugar.
Put on candles, light, sing song, blow out. Eat.
Love Rach xx
