The traditional Christmas cake is much loved but for some it can be a bit heavy because it is so rich in dried fruit brandy and spices. This Christmas spiced Victoria sponge cake is therefore perfect for those who prefer a lighter treat. The spices make the cake a little darker than the usual cake. Unlike the rich fruit cake the sponge cake does not keep very long but it is so irresistible that it is doubtful whether you would want to.
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) caster sugar
1 3/4 cups (225 grams) self-raising flour
