What is a Victorian sponge cake and what is a butter sponge cake , which one does funkybake use ?

We use butter based sponges as they are more dense and firm hence providing a more stable and easy to decorate foundation for the cake.
There is a difference between butter cakes and Victorian sponges

– butter cakes are dense and have less volume hence forth lesser air pockets than a Victorian sponge
– lesser air pockets imply a different characteristic in the way they soak , whether the medium be milk or sugar syrup ( incase of Victorian sponge its sugar syrup )

The cakes made with butter look dry but are moist , a dry cake in comparison would be chalky and crumbs would fall off as you take bites of it
