Feeling a little peckish? This hypnotic video showing a miniature Victoria Sponge being made is bound to capture the minds of bakers – thanks to the skills of a Great British Bake-Off winner. Measuring just a few centimetres tall, the small bake was created by the 2019 winner of the show, David Atherton.
As part of the Guide Dogs fundraising appeal, David mixes together tiny amounts of ingredients – including three-quarters of a teaspoon of egg, three-quarters of a teaspoon of butter, and one-and-a-half teaspoons of sugar. It shows the miniature sponge being whisked before it’s popped inside a normal cooking oven – meaning you can bake at home alongside your everyday cooking.
After just eight minutes, the tiny cake is taken out the oven and topped with a dollop of jam, cream, and strawberries, before being squished together with another layer of Victoria Sponge.
