I'm told my cakes are legendary and I'm always asked to make them for peoples birthdays at work so I thought I would write an instructable for them.

This recipe can be used to make various cakes, this is a basic Victoria sponge, but could be adapted to make chocolate or Coffee cake if you add the right bits at the right time.

Strange, peeps tell me too that i make good cakes. However, i suspect they lie! Cake is like sex, if it's good it's very good. If it's bad, it's better than nothing.

I suspect they say my cake is good, because it's better than no cake at all ;).

Then again, you seem to make a truly fine cake. Looks tasty :).

im liking the analogy

i would think the same that some cake is better than no cake but my cakes have been mistaken for shop bought cakes on more than one occasion.

also they say that the proof is in the eating, and my cake lasted less than one day at work and people came back for seconds!

i also have requests to make cakes all the time, and im now nominated cake baker for peoples birthdays at work as well as being asked to make a few wedding cakes!

and im a bloke! go figure.
