Sweet of the Week

I don't have a picture, so use your imagination: something called Victoria Cake, which is two layers of absolutely butter-laden vanilla sponge cake with a layer of jam and cream in between. Somehow, it all seemed soaked in butter. This was an amazing creation, purchased and consumed at Baldry's Cafe in Grasmere (after having walked 15 miles over three days in torrential downpours).
