I made this cake for my son’s birthday. I split the ingredients between three tins and cooked them for approximately 40 minutes. I added the sugar syrup as I was concerned the cake might be dry. The cake turned out perfectly; a lovely moist sponge. I would even go so far as to say it’s the most delicious cake I’ve ever made! The whole family loved it and I would make again.

HI Stacey,

In one of Janes other recipes she suggest freezing the sponges for the night after making and cutting them as she suggested that she finds it easier to decorate a frozen sponge. I have done this recpe today and. i can confirm that decorating a frozen cake was definitely easy.

Hi Jade,

I would say if you then follow the cooking instructions for the “celebration victoris sponge” i would say you would be about right as i think that the weights used in that recipe are about the same as half of this recipe 🙂

If I was to halve the recipe to make a 2 layer cake, what temperature would you need to bake at and for how long for? Thank you!

I have not tried anything as elaborate of this before so I thought I’d give it a go for my best friends birthday on the 29th. I have a question about the crumb coating. I’ve tried crumb coating on a previous cake before but the sides kept breaking away and literally going crumbly. Is there anything you can suggest to stop this happening please?

I’m wanting to make this for my daughters birthday. But wanting to do a 6inch instead of a 8inch. Could you tell me the measurements for 6inch please? And how long to cook?
Thank you

I used this recipe and split the mixture between 4x 8inch sandwich tins- took about 20mins on 170oC. Turned out perfectly! 🙂

I’m hoping to make this for a 70th birthday cake (I’ll be doing some test runs first).
The party is Sunday, If I make it on Saturday is it best to store in the fridge until a few hours before will that be ok?
I’m already starting to panic sweat about it 🤣

This Chocolate Drip Cake is a showstopper, The layers look perfectly baked and the chocolate drip is so beautifully done—it’s like something you’d see in a professional bakery. I love how the cake is both visually stunning and rich in chocolate flavor. The recipe instructions are detailed and easy to follow, which is great for recreating this masterpiece at home. This is definitely a cake that will impress at any celebration. Thanks for sharing such an impressive and delicious recipe.

Hi Amanda, did you get an answer?
I’m currently cooking 4 separate tins. Fingers crossed. I cooked for 30 minutes at 160 and they have turned out great

What timings and temp would you recommend for baking?
