I was quite surprised that Maxim’s have launched the Victoria Cake because it is not their style to have English cakes.+++++++++++++++++++A Victoria cake is also known as the Victoria sandwich or Victoria Sponge cake is basically two layers of sponge cake with raspberry/strawberry jam and whipped double cream or vanilla cream in the middle. The top of the cake is decorated and dusted with icing sugar.Photos of a Victoria sponge cake from UK's Sainsbury.+++++++++++++++++++The one at Maxim’s doesn’t quite look like a Victoria cake because it is topped with berries and these berries are probably there to make it worth $80 (small)/$148 (large).Frankly $80 is overpriced and in general ALL bakeries in Hong Kong are overpriced.You can get Victoria cakes for around HKD$20-40 in the UK and the high-end cakes are still cheaper than Hong Kong.There were two Victoria cakes, a chocolate version and a Vanilla version but to be honest, there is no such thing as a Chocolate Victoria cake although it may be a modern thing.Anyway, I didn’t have any expectations because most of their cakes are local style but I tried both anyway.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆Vanilla Victoria Cake
retty good with decent cream but the jam was in the middle and not evenly distributed.The sponge cake was light and fluffy.I would have given top marks for this cake if it wasn’t for the silly strawberries on top and the stupid biscuit base.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆Chocolate Victoria Cake:Evidently a delicious Black Forest cake filled with delicious cherries in the middle which tastes better than their so-called Black Forest cakes that they sell!★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆…查看更多
