Victoria Spone cake

VICTORIA SPONGE
Jill Boswell (graduated c. 1979)
A very useful basic recipe which I have modified to great effect to make jolly little party buns of all flavours and colours (often conflicting e.g. blue/chocolate; red/mint; green/strawberry) and a few random extras such as 'chilli pickle surprise' or 'crunchy cockroach special' (a few cornflakes concealed within).

4 oz marg.
4 oz sugar
4 oz S.r. flour
2 eggs (beaten)

Cream marg. and sugar until light and creamy.
Beat in eggs and flout alternately.
Place mixture into a greased 7" tin or two 7" sandwich tins.
Bake in 325-350 °F oven.
25-30 mins in 2 tins
40-45 mins in 1 tin.
Sandwich together with jam.
