Hi, I'm about to bake a victoria sponge for my sons birthday today but I only own a smallish rectangle bread type tin. I know you're supposed to bake it in two halves but will I be able to use this, put all the mixture in then just cut it later or will it not rise/cook properly?? Any help much appreciated - I don't want to waste the (ever expensive) ingredients if it's not going to work!! Thank you
Also should I use grease proof paper?

I advice to bake in two half.. than only the cake will rise and that is sponge cake.

Normally sponge cake need more space than butter cake. So do not waste your money and its your sons birthday cake so without disapoint him by giving such a cake, do it in two portion and you also can join it back by egg icing in middle.

Ingredient:
2 egg only the white
1 cup icing sugar
flovour ecense

Beat the white egg until lot of bubbles and the ad the sugar and ecense.. beat well and its ready to use.. you can ad your preference coloring also


Best of luck

i would do two halves seperately just to be sure and definately line with greaseproof!!!! or it will stick. i would sandwich them together with coloured frosting and round the edges off to make a caterpillar decorate with more frosting and candy and hey presto kids will love it!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck with it x
