Victoria Queen's Biscuit
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. A buttery sponge cake will be an excellent base for making cakes and pastries. It goes perfectly with any cream. If you want to make a sponge cake for a cake, use a 16-centimeter diameter pan; if you simply want baked goods for tea, use a 22–24 centimeter pan. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
