Is Mary Berry also wrong about Victoria sandwich cake?

[UntamedWisteria]

DS has been trying his hand at a Victoria sponge.

I got alarmed when he started putting all the ingredients in the bowl together... instead of creaming the butter & sugar then adding the eggs then the flour, as I was taught to do 40+ years ago and have been doing since.

He said "But Mary Berry does it this way." So I checked 3 different MB books, and lo & behold he is right!

Will report back when it's out of the oven & we've tasted it ...

Can anyone else vouch for this method?

Oh I just checked Stork but I avoid palm oil so not for me.

This is not the place, Violet.

Nothing bunfightly, appropriate though it might be here!

Some trying for customer research, with a clicky link.

I always use the all in one method now but usually use butter. I agree that the extra baking powder can leave a tang in the taste though.

There’s 3 methods, all in one method, creaming method and melting method, in baking usually cakes and biscuits, learnt all 3 at school. Mary berry cakes never fail, and always use marg!

It's the way I've always done it! Always works
