That quote from the Queen about laying her crown at the foot of Jesus touched my heart, as well! She was a remarkable woman and an example of a true Christian!

My eyes welled with tears to hear that the Queen hoped the second coming would be in her lifetime so she could lay her crown at the feet of Jesus. That’s a powerful statement and shows she loved the Lord.

I'm watching this video long after her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, passed, but her remark about laying her crown at the feet of Jesus makes me admire her that much more. Hers was a life well lived in service to her country and her Savior. Thank you for sharing this and all your wonderful recipes and for the way you shine for Jesus!

We call that Victoria sponge cake in England and its probably the most popular cake over here. Your's looks delicious!

I am balling like a baby now, when you told us what the Queen said about laying her crown at the feet of Jesus. ❤ I’m so glad I found your videos. ❤

You cheer me up. That is so beautiful about the Queen's story. It really made my day. You are priceless.

May she Rest in Peace 🙏💜

What a beautiful tribute to Queen EliZabeth II

I absolutely love your channel and all of the wonderful things that you bake and cook! You're a blessing to me and I'm sure many many more people! Thank you so much for the things that you said about her majesty Queen Elizabeth ll I did not know this

I so miss Queen Elizabeth. Sometimes when I hear “the Queen wore” (or whatever), I immediately think “but she’s gone”. It isn’t out of meanness, my mind will just only think of her as Queen. She was the only Queen I ever knew, she was an extraordinary human being. There will never be the likes of her again. I miss her.

I’m hooked on your channel! I grew up in the South back in the day when only the daddy’s had cars so all the women stayed home and got together and swapped recipes and us kids would play outside all day. Your recipes take me back to that time and I remember learning how to cook with my mom. It sure does bring back great memories! So glad I found you and all your wonderful comments and delicious recipes.🥰

My late grandma used to make this regularly, but she used seedless raspberry jam. It was so good.

I’ve been watching you recently…gotta tell you I wish I was from South Carolina as you are the sweetest and most genuine lady…I admire you!!! Your recipes are wonderful!!!!

Looks delicious!!! Happy y'all got your toes done. You are just too sweet & so pretty!!. I'm sure the cake is just yummy!!. Enjoy. Y'all have a blessed week and I know your excited about the wedding, you can hear it in your voice. God bless y'all. Stay safe. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲

Hello there Ms MeMe. I love that you honored the Queen. Sponge cakes are the usual type of texture one would get in wedding cakes. I learned that from Baking&Pastry school. The reason is that it's firm enough to hold up on stacked tiers, heavy ingredients, and takes well to different flavors and syrups. It's quite delicious! Love that cake you made. Aloha from Hawaii🤙

I just loved Queen Elizabeth,she was queen for most all of my life,she will be missed.

I love the story about the Queen laying her crown at the feet of Jesus, I had never heard that before. My husband is from England and I'll bet he doesn't know that! I love your channel, so glad I found it.

I’m so thankful I was led to your channel. You are a gem. Your family is so lucky to have you. I’m sure they know that. The cake looks amazing 😊

Thank you so much MeMe this reminds me of being in the kitchen with my Nana & my Aunt Violet.. some of my most treasured memories ♥️

I'm going to definitely try this cake. It sounds & looks good. Have a blessed sabbath 🌈💚🙏💚🌈😊.

Yummy as always! I loved what you said about Her Majesty The Queen. I always felt she was a model Christian and that is what made her reign such a success. 👑

I loved hearing what the Queen said about Jesus. Thank you for sharing that. Very heart warming!😊

What a beautifully simple cake. And thank you for the story about the queen and her crown.

MeMe.... very sweet of you to remember the queen in a way the rest of us can participate. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for all the fun!! "Shine for Jesus ". From Camden, South Carolina!! ..

I have my 1st cookbook on the way 😊😊can't wait to get it. Thankyou! God Bless You ❤shine for Jesus ❤❤❤

What a wonderful tribute! I LOVED the Queen (I'm Canadian) and I love your videos so much. This was special and thank you MeMe for all your recipes and for your honoring the Queen.

Enjoyed your video as always as well as your story about the Queen wanting to lay her crown at the feet of Jesus. Thanks for sharing and keep those videos coming! I don't always comment on your videos but I did want to let you know how absolutely entertaining you are. You are a natural at this!❤😊

As an Englishman i can tell you that's a fantastic Victoria sponge. Queen Victoria was actually quite a large lady in later life - i guess this may explain why!

God Bless the Queen and her family!

Thank you so so much for dedicating your beautiful cake to our beloved queen ❤

I was taught to weigh the eggs in their shells, and use the same weight for the butter, sugar and flour. I also add vanilla essence, and line the base of the tins with grease proof paper. The tins should ideally be straight sided. More often than not a Victoria Sandwich is just spread with jam. The flour should also be folded in in roughly three parts.

My life is so enriched by your testament of Christ. Thank you. I love to cook...well sometimes I just love to eat. LOL

You remind me of my precious mother…I just love you. Hello from Augusta, Ga

Aww how lovely of you to do this for our QE2 passing. Victoria cake is my absolute favourite cake. You can change the filling from fresh whipped cream to butter cream icing (my preference not sure of the American term but its icing sugar with butter not cream cream) and use jam (raspberry for me) and we usually hace this on a sunday afternoon. The sponge cake really needs to be light. Btw it goes well with either a cup of unsweetened tea (breakfast tea with milk! No sugar) or cold glass of prosecco or sparkling wine. Yum 😋 btw your own jam was lovely, looked yummy.

Hi Mrs. MeMe! I'm going to give this recipe a try, it's very simple. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Hi Thanks for. The delicious cake .l am going to try it Love from Malta 🇲🇹 Europe ❤❤❤

This cake looks really delicious. I'm going to make it for Easter dinner. It reminds me of my precious dad he owned a bakery and made delicious cakes sponge cake to. Thank you meme God bless you

All of your desserts look so good! Thanks for sharing.

This Queen's Cake recipe looks so delicious 😋 Ms. Diane.

Kinda like a jelly roll but in cake form. It looks delicious!

I really enjoy your channel. Love your love for your family and the Lord! Have a great week. And remember shine for Jesus.

Hello there MeMe. It is always so good to see you. That little saying about the Queen 👑 and the second coming of Jesus. Did you know that my Holy Spirit got on fire. I love you like a sister in Christ Jesus. Thank you so very much for everything you do. I hope and pray that the wedding goes very smoothly. May the good Lord touch everyone's heart ❣️

You are a doll! I so enjoy your videos, and will be making your recipes. A sparkling Southern cook!

This cake was one my my late husband's and also our son's favorites. Yours somewhat resembles what we call Koningskroon, translated from Dutch to Kings Crown cake. I always thought of the crown of thorns on Jesus' head during the crucifixion making this cake. It is made with a rich sponge cake, often cut into 4 layers; each layer soaked with rum just for the taste, (the alcohol evaporates), then topped as you did with each layer spread with strawberry preserves, sprinkled again with rum, put together and topped with powdered sugar as you did. There is no whipped cream in the middle on this one, but that looked yummy, particularly if a whipped cream stabilizer powder was added to keep the whipped cream stiff. It is sliced very thinly due to how rich it is as you also said. I really appreciate your channel, your cooking, your stories, your faith and the admonition to shine for Jesus. With my only child receiving a terminal diagnosis and me getting a recent breast cancer diagnosis, a person can get down while believing for healing from the Lord, but you always cheer me up. My son has a wife and children. Prayers of faith for healing are appreciated, and I pray for you and yours as well. Blessings.

Congratulations on enjoying a Lovely Wedding! God bless the couple

This was so special of you to honor The Queen May she rest in peace. I enjoy watching you Meme thanks for sharing your videos

Lovely!

I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel! I dearly love watching you make all the delicious recipes and there are a lot of them I will be making. Your ending each video with “ shine for Jesus “ always makes me smile.

You are an inspiration!!!🎉🎉🎉

I hadn’t heard that story about the the Queen, I loved that! Shine for Jesus❤

You are a beautiful person inside and out. Love your channel. ❤️

I love you MeMe, you are my friend too! The cake looks delicious, I will try it. I admired the Queen very much. I too watched the funeral.

Hi! I really enjoy you and your channel. I’ve been binge watching it. I loved the Queen! My Momma was born and raised in England. I was also born there. My Momma, myself and my 5 sisters are all very interested in Royalty and we miss the Queen! That was a wonderful saying from the Queen. ❤

Cookies sound like a great idea

Loved your compliments about the Queen.

I just love your videos..

Mrs Diane, I so appreciate your Christian faith. I am a minister and hospice chaplain and it is such a blessing to me that you end each of your videos with praise to Jesus. May your day be blessed with His goodness and grace. ❤

Yes, God has bee We all MISS HER!n with the Queen, she was a Lovely Person and Queen.

thank you for your video have fun on the wedding

Beautiful MeMe! Hugs!

I enjoy watching your videos because you feel just like home. You always look so pretty in your pretty outfits. It’s such a pleasure watching women I can relate with in my own age group. Can you expand your videos to fashion, home decor and lifestyle? Thank you for sharing 🌻

Yes 👑 Queen Elizabeth was a good Queen and a dear may she Rest In 🕊️ peace.I loves how you're honoring her with the 🍰 cake.The cake looks delicious 😋🤤 very 😋 tasty

Thank you I will try to make this cake Looks delicious delicious!!!!!

Food Lion has King Author floor. Love your site.

Nice tribute. Looks delicious!

I will shine for Jesus! I'll take a piece of that super cake! Looks wonderful!

Warn your viewers not to open the oven in cooking - you will get sinking. When you grease the pans, you can sprinkle a little flour on to help with it not sticking - Knock out any excess. In UK we fill it with strawberry jam on one side and buttercream on the other, then sandwich together. Lots of love…adore you and your cooking.💕💕

MeMe, you make everything look so easy 😁

So simple. I bet it was good!❤

I hadn't heard the Queen say that, but I LOVE it!

Love the china, put cut strawberries on top.

Wonderful video Diane

So simple yet looks so rich and good! I will try😊 can't find your cookbook so I'll just watch videos ❤

Thank you so much! Always wondered what Victoria Sponge is when watching my British shows! Also, if you add a little cornstarch to your whipping cream it keeps it from weeping later!

Ms. MeMe, I am of both English and Scottish Heritage. When HRHQE2, said what she did about laying her crown at Jesus' feet, I wept. I was always so very interested In The Royal Family. Recently I had a test done to find out where my ancestors came from. Now, I know why. Her Royal Highness is truly a remarkable lady.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful quote from Queen Elizabeth II. Please cut me a much bigger slice!

The Queen was so special!

Nice tribute to the queen

I Just got your recipe book in the mail and I think I will be baking this cake Very soon. 👩‍🍳🍰

Thank you for this beautiful recipe.....you always make it look so doable 😊.....can't wait to make this...God's blessings always 💖

I love watching you 💕

I love the smell of Vanilla

Love it!

MeMe, I just wanted to say, I love your show because you love our Lord Jesus Christ. You have the cutest mannerisms and I think you are a magnificent cook. God continue to bless you with His strength.

Ms. MiMi, Queen Victoria is my favorite! PBS has a series about her life that is so beautiful. She died in 1901. Thank you for thinking of Queen Elizabeth. ❤️ Now let me get to my kitchen!

And I’m gonna make your recipe of the Queen’s cake ♥️

I loved the Queen. She was a good Christian woman. May she rest in peace .

Food Lion carries King Arthur flour.

So that is where Queen Victoria got her waistline. 🤣🤣

MeMe should change her catch phrase to: Dine for Jesus ! 😅

I just love you!

Sponge is what Brits call cake just like they call cookies biscuits.

Looks scrumptious. I was waiting for the taste. Interesting the cake didn't call for a pinch of salt or baking powder.

Ms. Leary, does this recipe call for cake flour or all purpose flour please? If All Purpose, we can pick up some King Arthur at our local store to keep in line with the theme of this recipe. Thanks! This good lady will be missed. 💐

❤🌹🌷❤

Meme, did you know that bakers are charging $95 for a cake in Charleston, SC??? Isn’t that ridiculous? I asked someone how much a pound cake would be (she’s in Moncks Corner and it was 50 bucks!!! Oh, Lordy! I would never pay that for a cake

I love the Watkins vanilla. My mother always sent it to me. They make a clear vanilla if you need a really white batter or icing like for a wedding cake. I love Watkins coarse ground black pepper also.

Who is KK? Is she related to you or a friend. Too bad we never see her. You are amazing. I just love the way you present your recipes. Thank you Me Me

I recently found your channel is your cookbook still available and where can I obtain one thank you for your good recipes

Victoria sandwich is it’s name! Xx it’s usually made with seedless raspberry jam and buttercream. But yours looks good!
