For the Sponge

First up, grease and line a deep 6” round cake tins. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually beat in the eggs and Vanilla Extract. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a spoonful of flour. Finally sieve over the flour and Baking Powder, pour in the milk and fold in until just combined.

2

Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and smooth the top. Cook in the air fryer on the standard setting at 135℃  for 35–45 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 15 minutes and then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

3

For the filling

Once your cake has cooled, place the cream in a large bowl with the Vanilla Extract and icing sugar and whisk until soft peaks form. Using a serrated knife cut your cake in half. Place the cream on to the cut sponge and smooth out with a palette knife.

4

Place the jam on top of the cream and smooth out to cover the cream, leave a small gap at the edge of the cream as the jam will spread out further when you put the next cake layer on.

5

Sandwich your other layer of sponge on top. Dust with a sprinkling of icing sugar. You are new ready to serve your Victoria sponge cake baked in the airfryer!
