The new variety for summer is Gu Victoria Sponge Cake Pots. Inspired by the classic cake, they also feature Gu’s signature layer of mascarpone crème.
I opened the box, peeled back the wrapper, and the dessert looked lovely, topped with biscuit sprinkles. I gave it a try and was impressed by the flavour. I’d worried the sponge element might get lost, but it came through well: rich and creamy, like a slice of Victoria Sponge with plenty of extra filling.
The standout component is the zingy raspberry compote. It adds balance, a fruity freshness, and a sharp kick that cuts through the sweetness.
This is another delight from Gu, and definitely one I’ll be buying again.

Bought these for nanna (me) today - sounds good!
Sometimes the classic and simple flavours really do hit the spot despite sounding boring on first thought (when they are well made of course).
Just tried the new Victoria sponge dessert, so disappointing, no crunch, virtually no sponge, cream has a funny texture jam is fine, I did some volume calculations and I had a 38% product to pot ratio. What an absolute rip off.
