An 8" DEEP pan vanilla sponge recipe? 🍰🍰

[TheDrop]

Does anyone have a good recipe that goes in a cake pan, not shallow cake tins? I have made this Good Housekeeping one a few times but the sponge always comes out dry and crumbly. Surely there has to be a good recipe out there for a deep cake pan! Thank you

I've never found one to work. By the time it's fully baked, it's dry.

You could add syrup/milk to the final cake to moisten it again but I think it spoiled the texture.

Have you tried soaking the cake after it's baked with simple syrup. Sugar and water boiled till sugar dissolved and sprayed onto cake layers. You can add lemon juice etc for flavour too.

This is the best ever recipe for Victoria sandwich cake I’ve ever made, a friend gave it to me after I complemented the huge sponge she served at a get together.
225g softened butter or margarine.
225g castor sugar.
4 large eggs.
225g self raising flour.
2tsp baking powder.
150ml whipping cream.
4tbsp jam.
1tbsp icing sugar.
Heat the oven to 180c 160c fan gas4. Lightly grease & line the base of cake tin with baking paper.
Place butter or margarine in a mixing bowl and the sugar, beat until pale and fluffy either with electric beaters or a wooden spoon.
Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each one. If the mixture looks like it may be curdling add a spoonful of flour with each egg.
When you have added them all sift together flour and baking powder and fold into the mixture using a large metal spoon in a figure of 8 motion. Don't mix to vigorously or you will knock out the air. Then bake until golden, well risen and springy to touch and a skewer comes out clean. Time depends on how good your oven is approx 40-50 mins for me but in my old oven it took almost an hour!
Cool in tin for 10mins then transfer to a rack.
To assemble whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Spread the jam onto one half cake then add the cream add top half of cake then sprinkle with icing sugar.
I only use the whip cream if the cake is for a pudding on the weekends normal I just do butter cream. Enjoy the cake so easy to make.
