I’m not sure. I generally find it works and is light and copes well with the filling. What gluten free flour did you use?

I tried this recipe and my sponge came out really heavy and stodgy, I did exactly the same as when I use my usual margarine and my sponges are always so light and fluffy. Also it doesn’t seem to set enough for the filling. What am i doing wrong?

Hi, you need to take five eggs in their shells and weigh them, then you base the weights of the flour, butter and sugar you need on the weight of the eggs. That’s how a Victoria sponge is traditionally made. So if your eggs when you weigh them, are 300g in total then that’s the amount of flour, sugar and butter you need. It does say that in the blog post.

All done, apologies. I was on my phone at the time, and I know you can add stuff to a post, but haven’t worked out how, to properly, but it’s on there now. Will adhere to the rules, next time! 🙂
