   • Preheat your oven to a medium heat (approximately gas mark 4 to 5).
   • Grease two 7-inch cake tins to prepare them for the batter.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar:

   • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until the mixture turns very pale in color. This step ensures a light and fluffy texture for your sponge.

3. Incorporate Eggs and Flavoring:

   • Gradually fold in the self-raising flour and beaten eggs into the butter-sugar mixture. Add vanilla extract for a classic flavor, or opt for a zesty twist with lemon juice and rind. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to achieve a soft consistency.

4. Divide and Bake:

   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins, spreading it out evenly. Place them on the middle shelf of your preheated oven.
   • Bake the cakes until they turn a pale gold color and feel springy to the touch. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

5. Cool and Assemble:

   • Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
   • Once cooled, carefully remove the cakes from the tins and place one layer on a serving plate.
   • Spread your chosen filling evenly over the top of this layer.
   • Gently place the second cake layer on top of the filling to create a sandwich effect.

6. Finish and Serve:

   • Dust the top of the Victoria Sponge with icing sugar for a classic touch, or get creative by covering it with fudge or water icing, depending on your preference.
   • Slice the cake into generous portions and serve with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat!
