Great British Bake off to the rescue?

Once upon a time I could make a Victoria Sandwich Cake with my eyes closed....now they never rise and the last one went in the bin. Quadruply upsetting as I like to think I am a good cook! I have bought a new oven, new mixing bowls and a new hand mixer all to no avail.

With the Great British Bake off back on our screens, I am inspired to give it another go with Mary Berry's Perfect Victoria Sandwich. I will let you know how I get on, but in the meantime any one who has tips, please leave a comment!

I am now wondering is it my sandwich tins?! Below....cake plates at the ready in the yay retro! china shop...
