Jess's Blueberry Victoria Sponge

This cake was made as a joint birthday cake for mum and boyfriend.. no pressure. I wanted it to be blueberry themed, to give it a bit of extra flavour and colour. It ended up being rather jam packed!!

I used a basic Victoria Sponge recipe from the BBC Food website which was very straight forward. I then made a buttercream icing, coloured it blue (which turned out to be slightly more like green). Once both cakes had cooled, I added blueberry jam to the lower tier, and spread the buttercream on top of both parts.

On the underneath cake, i added chopped strawberries and whole blueberries, and positioned the top later on top. i then covered the top layer of icing with blueberries, and to add a bit of extra colour, added some Cadburys "Snowball" chocolates.

I would definately make this cake again. It was so simple, and the end result was exactly what i wanted,  it looked good and tasted great. It wasnt exactly the neatest cake of all time (!!), but it was colourful and  looked fun!
