Victoria SandwichLooking for a light fluffy cake with an indulgent wipped cream and jam filling for that special treat, then why not try this Victoria Sandwich recipe. Make sure the margarine and sugar are mixed until creamy, add the beaten eggs and fold in the flour so that it is light and smooth. Bake for about 20 minutes. Makes two 18cm (7inch) shallow cakes.

Ingredients:

Self Raising Flour 225g (8oz)
Eggs 4
Butter or Margarine 225g (8oz)
Sugar 225g (8oz)

Preparation:

Sieve the flour to help make the cake light. 

Grease and line the base of two 18cm (7inch) sandwich tins.

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F, Gas mark 5 )

Method:

Mix the margarine and sugar together in a mixing bowl until creamy in texture.

Beat the eggs together.

Add the beaten eggs to the mixture a little at a time mixing well after each addition.  

Gently fold in the flour to the mixture  until the mixture is light and smooth. 

Spoon half the mixture into each sandwich tin and smooth over with a knife.

Put the tins into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes until well risen, firm to the touch and begining to shrink from the sides.

Turn out on to wire tray and leave to cool.

When the cakes are cool sandwich them together with jam and sprinkle with icing sugar. For a special treat add whisked double cream.

Liver and OnionLiver and onions (with lambs liver) is a recent favourite of my family.  Simple to prepare and cook, served with seasonal fresh vegetables, is undoubtedly a healthy meal.

Ingredients:

Lambs Liver 700g (1½lb)
Onions 2
Corn Flour
Water
Gravy Browning

Preparation:

Slice the onions and wash the liver.

Method:

Gently fry the liver in  oil on both sides, when cooked remove it  from the frying pan and set aside.

Add the onions to the pan and gently fry until soft.         

Return the liver to the pan then pour over enought hot water to cover the liver and onions and bring to the boil.

Mix the cornflour with some water then add a few drops of gravy browning, I usually do this in a cup. You want enough cornflour to thicken the gravy. Pour this into the liver and onions and stir the gravy should thicken quickly.

To Serve: 

Serve hot from the pan with your choice of vegetables.
