You will need :
6oz Self Raising Flour
7oz Caster Sugar
4oz butter or stork
2-3 eggs
And for the topping
Vanilla Ready made creamy icing (butter icing)
Chocolate Chips
Silver Balls ( The kind you can eat)
Tools
An oven – Preheated to 180c (Non fan-assisted ovens preheat to 200c)
Wooden spoon (for mixing)
Mixing bowl
Cake tin ( a medium sized one will do- I don’t know the measurements of the one I used)
Scales
Wire Rack for cooling
Fridge
Sieve
Spatula
Plate
What to do:
- Weigh out the flour, sieve into the mixing bowl. Do the same with sugar.
- Mix in the butter/stork, and gradually one by one add the eggs. You should have a creamy batter as the end result. Make sure it is not too runny though.
- Grease your cake tin, and pour in the mixture and smooth it out.
- Pop into the oven and leave for about 40 mins. Easiest way to check if a cake is done, is to pop a knife in it, if it comes out clean it is cooked.
- Once cooked leave the cake to cool completely before decorating (it will melt the icing if you decorate whilst hot). Cool it on the wire rack.
- Once cooled down you can now decorate! Yay! Pop the cake on a plate, and cover it with the icing. Do it how you like.
- Then cover it with the chocolate chips and the silver balls. Cover it until you are happy.
- Once decorated pop in the fridge, so the icing can set. Then serve!
I hope you enjoy this recipe, it is my own.
