Personal Notes: The Victoria Sponge Cake or Victoria Sandwich is a favorite cake at a British Tea traditionally filled with jam and fresh whipped cream.
History: The Duchess of Bedford, one of Queen Victoria’s ladies-in-waiting, would get a sinking feeling about 4pm. She had her servants bring her a pot of tea and a few bread stuffs. She started inviting friends to join her for an afternoon tea at 5pm.
The menu was full of small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches and sweets. This custom spread and even Queen Victoria began to hold tea parties. The simple cake was one of the queen's favorites and it was eventually named after her. |
