Prue Leith has described Mary Berry’s Victoria sponge recipe as being “heavier” and “a little more solid”.

The Great British Bake Off judge and fellow presenter, Paul Hollywood, were discussing the best method for making the classic cake, but not before Hollywood stated that the sweet treat’s correct title is actually a Victoria sandwich.
