Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes (A Taste of Britain)

I lived in England as a teenager and young adult with my family and my husband spent a couple of years there as well.  We all get homesick for Britain.  I had my family over a couple of weeks ago and served these Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes.  Everyone’s reaction was the same:  “These taste so British!”  And they do.

Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated.  Be careful not to over-stir or the cakes will be dense.
