NOTE:

The Coronation of Victoria as Queen of the United Kingdom took place on Thursday, 28 June 1838, just over a year after she succeeded to the throne of the United Kingdom at the age of 18.

The ceremony was held in Westminster Abbey after a public procession through the streets from Buckingham Palace, to which the Queen returned later as part of a second procession.

Happy Coronation Day to King Charles III!

Our celebration cake is a Victoria Sponge cake made with ingredients from the Duchy Organic range of groceries and produce. 

The Duchy Organic is an organic and sustainable food brand founded by then Prince Charles in 1990 that helped make organic groceries mainstream in the UK.

Victoria Sponge cake is two generously sized layers of soft vanilla flavoured sponge cake with strawberry jam and clotted cream filling.

The edible flowers are Cowslips (Primula veris) and Lilac (Syringa reticulata). The cut out figures make the already delicious cake into a cute diorama.

In keeping with his majesty's interest in saving the environment, the backdrop is a reusable shopping bag with his official portrait.

God save the King!

𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀

Victoria sponge cake is a British cake. It's a vanilla sponge cake that is sandwiched with jam and buttercream (or whipped cream)

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙖𝙢:

• 500g/1lb 2oz strawberries, hulled and halved

• 500g/1lb 2oz jam sugar

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚:

•175g/6oz unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing

•175g/6oz caster sugar

•3 large free-range eggs, beaten

•1 tsp vanilla extract

•175g/6oz self-raising flour

•300ml/10½fl oz double cream

•icing sugar, for dusting

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱 for the jam

1) You can just use pre-made jam from a jar to save time. Place the strawberries in a large saucepan and crush with a potato masher.

2) Add the jam sugar and heat gently, stirring continuously, until the sugar dissolves.

3) Keep stirring, increasing the heat, bringing it to a full rolling boil, one that bubbles vigorously, rises in the pan and cannot be stirred down.

4) Start timing and boil for four minutes only. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱 for the sponge

1) Preheat the oven to 190C(170C fan)/375F/Gas 5. Lightly grease the tins with butter.

2) To make the cakes, cream the butter and caster sugar together until the mixture is pale and light. Gradually add the beaten eggs, mixing well between each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl from time to time. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

3) Sift the flour into the bowl and fold in until the mixture is glossy and smooth.

4) Divide the mixture between the mini sandwich tin cups and level with a teaspoon.

5) Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes until golden-brown and springy to the touch.

6) Leave the cakes to cool in the tin for two minutes and then ease onto a wire cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

7) Whip the cream to soft peaks and spoon into a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle.

8) Cut each cake in half horizontally with a bread knife.

9) Pipe one dot of the cream in the middle of each cake base and the rest in dots around the edges. Drizzle the jam over the cream, place the sponge tops on and lightly sift icing sugar over the cakes

The Ritz Restuarant

I’ve always wanted to visit the Ritz. I summoned up the courage to enter this hallowed place a few weeks ago.  I was apprehensive due to the smartly dressed doormen who looked like they knew how to deal with riff raff.  I have personal experience of their skill as once, when I was passing by, I thought it would be nice to sneak a peak.  I was refused entry on account of my shoes, as apparently I…
