I have a cake to make and i usually make a maderia sponge however i find this takes too long to bake, this is a 10" round and would also take ages. Would a normal victoria sponge cake work and hold the weight to be fondant iced? If not can someone suggest a sponge recipe. Thanks Sarah

The Victoria sponge cake should do fine. It is strong enough to hold the fondant yet light enough to eat.
Good luck and have fun.

Many thanks for the reply. Do you think it would be ok to bake the cake os one big cake the cut in into 2 halves? It wont crumble too much will it?
