berries
cream
jam
sponge cake
strawberries
strawberry jam
sugar

whipped cream

If you want to turn this into a Victoria sponge cake, cut the cake in half horizontally, (Make sure the cake is cool) and spread strawberry jam (or any jam you prefer) on the bottom half of the cake. Grab some whipped cream and put it on top of the jam. Spread this as well. Place the top half of the cake on top and sprinkle a good amount of icing sugar or vanilla sugar on top of the cake. You can also add some strawberries on top for more flavour. There you have it! 🙂
