Victoria Sponge Cake with a twist

Well everyone bakes a Victoria sponge and here is mine! Good friends and good food on a fine summer day... good enough to celebrate with a beautiful sponge with lots of lovely summer strawberries :)
I added a dash of rose extract to give the usual Victoria sponge a new refreshing flavour. Baking a naked cake with some lovely summer fruits was the idea, like a fancy Victoria sponge cake :D

After an evening with friends,  the cake vanished and I knew I had got it right ;)

Easy Plum Jam

Well this was my first Jam project :) An abundance of plums and a productive afternoon resulted in some fresh jarful of these fruity goodness.
We used up most of the jam slathered on warm scones or toasted breads and it always made for some lovely breakfast. A pretty straightforward recipe which comes together easily.

Wish you all a very Happy Easter :)
