Victoria Sandwich Cake


The classic Victoria Sandwich Cake(VSC) , the cake that fit for the queen.I always love VSC maybe because of its simplicity which tastes amazing.I have found so many recipes via internet and baking book but I settled the recipe from my favorite cyber guru, The Kitchen Guardian..
To make it even beautiful just stack the cakes, slather it with strawberry preserves and buttercream (i used Swiss meringue buttercream) and you're done.It's so simple yet so elegant and delightfully taste .
So here's the recipe which full credits is to be given to Kak Yani,  The Kitchen Guardian
