    The trouble with you lot is your minds are closed. You just believe what they want you to.

    As I don't know what squabbling means I ferociously disagree with anybody writing there by a precautionary principle.

    BMW produce motorcycles that are far better built and significantly more fun than Triumph. But Triumph build better bras than BMW.

    Interesting fact, this became a test case in business law for GB VAT.

    While cakes and biscuits are taxed at 0%, if a biscuit has chocolate on it, it is taxed at the prevailing rate (20% currently), a cake is 0% irrespective if it does or does not have chocolate on it

    Jaffa class their confectionery as a cake and thus avoid the 20% tax, UK HMRC wanted their slice of the cake (see what I did there) and wanted it classed as a biscuit
    The judge ruled a cake is a cake if it is left out overnight, if it starts soft and is then hard in the morning, it is a cake. If it starts hard and is soft in the morning, it is a biscuit
    (If it is soggy.....well that is something altogether different!)

    The Jaffa Cake was proven to be a cake - they baked a 12" size Jaffa to prove it to the court

    That was an expensive squabble

    Classic Victoria Sponge.

    Ingredients

    • 200g caster sugar
    • 200g softened butter
    • 4 eggs, beaten
    • 200g self-raising flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 2 tbsp milk
    For the filling
    • 100g butter, softened
    • 140g icing sugar, sifted
    • drop vanilla extract (optional)
    • half a 340g jar good-quality strawberry jam (we used Tiptree Little Scarlet)
    • icing sugar, to decorate
    Method
    • STEP 1
      Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper.

    • STEP 2
      In a large bowl, beat 200g caster sugar, 200g softened butter, 4 beaten eggs, 200g self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 tbsp milk together until you have a smooth, soft batter.

    • STEP 3
      Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

    • STEP 4
      Bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed.

    • STEP 5
      Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

    • STEP 6
      To make the filling, beat the 100g softened butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in 140g sifted icing sugar and a drop of vanilla extract (if you’re using it).

    • STEP 7
      Spread the buttercream over the bottom of one of the sponges. Top it with 170g strawberry jam and sandwich the second sponge on top.

    • STEP 8
      Dust with a little icing sugar before serving. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.
