About Empress Sponge Cake

An All Things Delicious take on a classic cake: the Victoria Sponge.

Legend has it that Queen Victoria (Queen of UK from 1837 until her death in 1901), seemed to be suffering from a “sinking feeling” at around 4 o’clock in the afternoons. We all are quite familiar with this “sinking feeling” at 4 o’clock, aren’t we? I for one, have suffered from it all my life!

One of life’s greatest pleasures: tea time was thus invented and the Victoria Sponge is named after the Queen as it was her favourite cake! If you, like me, enjoy delving deeper into history, read on. It will come to no surprise that this “simple” cake became the Queen’s and EVERYONE’s favourite at the time because of the invention of baking powder.

Cake, as we know of it now, was invented when baking powder poofed into the scene. Before baking powder, the cake wasn’t such a piece of cake! Cakes prior to 1856 were made using yeast (which made cake-making a very long 12-24 hour process) and with too much elbow-grease whipping eggs! Thank you to its inventor, Mr Alfred Bird for creating this magical white substance that bakers the world over can’t live without!

This strawberries and cream cake is layered with housemade mixed-berry jam in between the natural, sponge cakes. Enjoy tea time anytime!

The Empress Sponge, a simple but delicious afternoon treat. Suitable for queens, kings, princes, princesses, duke and duchess and your entire (royal) family. Made with layers of vanilla genoise sponge that has a great texture (not too light like chiffon) and sandwiches with our housemade four-berry jam.

This cake is covered in lightly-sweetened fresh cream from France. A lovely, dainty cake that’s delicious too!

Review on Empress Sponge cake

Delivery was as per scheduled. The Empress sponge cake was nice....light...nice strawberry taste and flavor. Its abit expensive though.

Cake too dense

I felt that this cake a little too dense and enjoyed the other cakes better.

Empress Sponge Cake

Ordered for a birthday event and it was not bad! Sponge cake was just nice but i was hoping the layers of jam would be better tho. It came in a flat hard texture and didnt taste fresh. But luckily, the sponge cake and the external cream made it up slightly :)
