The Victoria Sandwich is the quintessential English cake, conjuring up images of old England and afternoon tea.

Martha finds out how to make the perfect sandwich cake with Mary Berry, author of Mary Berry's Ultimate Cake Book (BBC Consumer Publishing (Books), ISBN: 0563551305), Jill Brand, Women's Institute Food Expert (and author of The WI Book of Cakes and The WI Book of Biscuits) and Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, River Cottage chef.
