I’ll be honest, the first time I attempted this cake, I completely messed up the swirl. I got a bit overenthusiastic and tried dragging a knife through the batter like I’d seen on Bake Off, only to end up with one big cocoa blob in the center. It resembled a cow pat—still delicious, but definitely […]

When I first attempted Mary Berry’s Lemon Victoria Sponge, I definitely overcomplicated things. I feared the lemon wouldn’t stand out against the buttery sponge, so I doubled the zest. Big mistake—it threw off the balance and ended up tasting more like a lemon-scented candle than a cake. Not exactly the result I was hoping for.

I’ll admit it—the first time I tackled this cake, I was overly confident. “It’s just a Victoria sponge,” I thought. “Simple! Foolproof!” Famous last words. The sponge turned out pale and dense, and the whipped cream melted into a sad puddle because I didn’t wait for the cake to cool properly. But here’s the thing:

I’ll be honest—the first time I made Mary Berry’s Madeira Cake, I expected something light and refined. Instead, I ended up with a slightly domed sponge that had a crack across the top, almost like it had split its trousers. I was a little disappointed.

Cold butter from the fridge? I was convinced it’d be a dense flop. Spoiler: I was spectacularly wrong. What I pulled from the oven was

I first made this chocolate Victoria sponge in a total rush—one of those “need a cake in under an hour, no time for disasters” moments. I wasn’t expecting much. I thought it might turn out dry, or collapse in the middle because I didn’t have time to soften the buttery spread. But here’s the surprise:

If there’s one cake that’s caused a bit of a stir in my kitchen, it’s this one. Coffee and walnut cake? People either love it or say, “That’s a cake for old people.” (My cousin’s words—she’s wrong, of course.) But this—Mary Berry’s Coffee and Walnut Sponge—changed a few minds at my last Sunday lunch. Even

Let’s be honest—this cake tested my patience. I’ve always admired the elegance of a Battenberg: that neat, pink-and-plain checkerboard tucked under a golden layer of marzipan. It’s the epitome of tea-time sophistication. When it comes to retro classics, Mary Berry’s Cherry Cake has that same nostalgic charm. But when I first tried making this Battenberg,

The first time I made Mary Berry’s Pound Cake, I got too confident and rushed it. I tossed all the ingredients in a bowl, mixed like crazy, and forgot to line the tin properly. The result? The fruit sank to the bottom, the edges overbaked, and the center was raw. But despite the failure, the
