Whenever I bake one, I usually stick to Mary Berry’s famous all-in-one method—a foolproof recipe that consistently delivers a perfect sponge. Curious to explore other celebrity chefs’ takes, I decided to try James Martin’s Victoria sponge cake recipe. The outcome? Both were delightful, but the winner was unmistakable. James Martin is known for his impressive array of recipes, including a Swiss roll that I find surprisingly straightforward to make.
