MINI VICTORIA SPONGE CAKES

With The Great British Bake Off back on our screens, it's the perfect time to dust off your mixing bowls and get baking.

Whether you're a seasoned star baker or just in it for the cake, there's something joyful about filling the kitchen with the smell of something sweet in the oven.

These miniature Victoria sponge cakes are a great place to start, simple, nostalgic and perfect with a cup of tea.

If you're after something a little more showstopper, try the chocolate hazelnut torte (it's gluten-free too). And for something seasonal, these spiced apple and carrot muffins are a lovely way to use up any windfall fruit.
