I have a real love for old baking pieces. There is something so inspiring about a great pie tin or cake pan that has made so many people happy.
Imagine how thrilled I was when I happened upon these great traditional sandwich pans. They even have the pretty lever to help get the cake out. They’re weathered but properly seasoned at the same time and scream Victorian sponge cake to me.
I’ve been using this recipe for this lovely cake since I went to school in the U.K. I clipped it from a magazine and adopted it as my own. I hate to say that I don’t know what mag it was from some 13 years later.
Delicious, plain cake that uses ingredients that you have in the house. Make sure that your eggs are really fresh and have big, fat yellow yolks.
Cream 225 grams of butter with the same amount of sugar.
Add four eggs and 1 tsp really, rich vanilla-beat like heck.
Add; 225 grams of flour, dash of baking soda and 2 tsp. baking powder. Stir to JUST combine.
Drizzle in up to 4 T. of milk to loosen the batter a bit.
Pour into greased baking tins (also makes really good cupcakes) and bake at 350 for approx. 20 minutes.
Sandwich your favourite jam (I like raspberry) in the middle (or fruit and cream).

I have those! But I haven't used them in a while…now that I'm getting myself back I might have to do up this recipe.Awesome picture of the baby, by the way! That's how I wish I could nap.
It's weird how much comfort they give. I think of all those Moms making treats for their kiddos and it gives me hope that I can "do this".
You can do this, cake pans or no cake pans!
Oooh, yummy! Your raspberries look so juicily ripe. Mmmm! I didn't know you went to school over here in the UK! How lovely (I hope!!).Sarahx
We picked them off the bushes in the back garden about 2 minutes before the photo. Yep, I'm an Oxford grad.
The old pans are often the best.
did your little one fall asleep sitting up in the crib? too cute!
That's her favorite sleeping position lately 🙂
Great blog =]I am following you for obvious reasons ;] would love for you to check me out as wellhttp://vanessaduranajunkjunkie.blogspot.com/ tootlesV.
My mom had a set of those, and I did, too, once upon a time. I was very interested to see that you call them sandwich pans. After reading your post, I can understand why. We just called them layer pans. Blogs are very interesting and informative.
I'm amazed at what I learn each day from blogs.
Thank You So MUCH for joining me last week for Cast Party Wednesday. I hope you will come back tomorrow and share more of your recipes with us.Thanks,I hope to see you there!
