I'm lost here Master A. :-(  I always thought a Victoria Sandwich was called
that because it was jam sandwiched between two layers of cake....

It is a spongey type round cake and one serves it in triangular slices just
like with any other round cake.  I've never heard of Victoria sandwiches (as
in little individual finger food type thingies). :-0    On another note, I
have seen this same VS batter made into cup cakes and used for things like
"butterfly cakes".
