While an early cousin of the Cuban sandwich was born in Cuba proper, the Cuban sandwich as we know it today originated in Tampa, Florida's cigar-producing neighborhood of Ybor City in the late 1800s and caught on by the early 1900s. It was popular among workers in the district's many cigar factories.
Sponge cake is a cake made of flour (usually wheat flour), sugar, and eggs. The Victoria sponge cake was named after Queen Victoria, who ate a slice of sponge cake with her afternoon tea. It is usually called simply sponge cake. In actuality, the sponge cake can be traced back to roughly the 15th Century. The term 'sponge cake' comes from the sponge-like openness of the crumb.
