“We are at Villa Wolkonsky, seat of the British ambassador in Rome, and we are preparing a cake for the garden party that will be held here to celebrate Charles’s coronation”. Resident chef Dario Pizzetti explains step by step the recipe for the Victoria Sponge Sandwich Cake, a traditional British cake.
“A dessert – says Pizzetti – born in the mid-1800s thanks to the suggestions of the Duchess of Bedford Anne Stanhope, Queen Victoria’s lady-in-waiting: the duchess was a person subject to low sugar levels and therefore had requested food to accompany tea in the afternoon”.
