Every afternoon you can look forward to coming back to your chalet and enjoying a great big slice of freshly home-made cake. Not to mention tea, coffee, hot chocolate and some delicious freshly baked baguettes and spreads if that’s more to your fancy!
Each one of our chalet staff have their own individual flare when it comes to rustling up your sweet treats. Some opt for cakes, others bake up some delicious cookies, brownies and other surprises!
If you fancy your hand at rustling up a classic Victoria sponge cake just follow the recipe below. This is a great cake to take for a Summer picnic. If raspberries are more your thing feel free to sub them in instead. We’ve chosen a buttercream filling, however if you prefer you can whip up some fresh cream and use this to sandwich the cakes together instead.
Did you know that strawberries are the only fruit with their seeds on the outside?
