Victoria Sponge? Custard or Sans Custard

[FoolOnTheHill]

?

Without.

Why would you have custard with a jam and cream sponge dusted with icing sugar?

Oddball.

[Anna_S]

Definitely without.... it's too light for a big old custard - although can't say I've ever tried it!

[parapaul]

With.

A la custard is THE best way to enjoy a cake of any description.

[FoolOnTheHill]

The argument came from the obviousness of treacle sponge and custard, and move to discuss how light a sponge would be before custard was not an option.

[parapaul]

Custard should always be an option if available

[kiteless]

Never with a Victoria Sponge.

I mean, how - on any level - would that idea work?

And inserting a token French word into the thread title does not make the question any less silly.


<Mrs kiteless kinda likes the idea tho. Bit like a jam steam pud and custard.>

She's on medication tho.

<And cooks all Mr kiteless' food!!>

It's late. Bless her.

Beccas don't eat custard.

A drop of single cream if it's too dry, otherwise nowt.

[FoolOnTheHill]

Custard RULES.

[Neil_H]

I love custard but it doesn't go with Victoria Sponge, it would overpower the flavour of the cream and jam.

Custard is best with tarty desserts like fruit pies/ crumbles

[stewies_minion]

Custard has no business near a victoria sponge.

Gack! Hate ginger. Vile stuff.

Accidentally had a white chocolate and ginger cheesecake at Wagamama recently. Oh, the disappointment...
