Mini Victoria Sponges

These are adorable and perfect for a tea party. The strawberry compote is made by cooking strawberries down with a little sugar and can be kept in the fridge for weeks (and is delicious with porridge!).


  • 125g butter, softened
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 150g plain flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • strawberry compote or any jam
  • cream cheese and icing sugar, or whipped cream
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C and prepare 8 muffin cases.
  2. Cream the butter with an electric whisk. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating continuously. Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix.
  4. Divide between the muffin cases and bake for 8-12 minutes.
  5. When cool cut in half and layer compote and cream cheese, or make butterfly buns. Be creative!
