Ingredients
- 550 gm plain flour
- 350 gm caster sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 whole large eggs beaten
- 3/4 cup strong coffee cooled
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup milk
- 125 gm butter melted cooled
Buttercream
- 250 gm butter softened unsalted
- 250 gm cream cheese left out to soften
- 2 cups pure icing sugar sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla seeds or extract
Instructions
- This recipe will make 1 x 24 cm cake in a deep tin. Line and spray the tin Oven 170 C / 340 F Mix all the dry ingredients together sifting the flours and then adding the sugar.
- Mix all the wet ingredients except the butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dries with the mixer on low . Then add the butter and beat till smooth.
- pour into a cake tin that is lined and greased. Bake For approx 50-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean from the middle of the cake. Cool and remove, running a knife around the outside and easing out.
Buttercream
- Buttercream is great for a cake finish but also as an undercoat for roll out icing. Use a small amount spread thinly over the whole cake ( doesn't matter if it looks thin and messy here). Cool I the fridge and then do a nice thick coat on top.
- Beat the soft butter till light and white and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and beat again. Add the vanilla and 1/2 the sugar and beat for a few minutes more. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and beat till incorporated. I like to add the sugar a half a cup at a time here beating well each time. I used 2 cups but you may not. Add more salt to bring the flavour out as necessary. The icing should be fluffy and white. Use it to coat the cake in two stages ( as above).
- If you are using a roll out fondant icing use pure icing sugar to flour the benches. Roll to fit the cake and smooth over with your hands or a smooth teatowel.
- To attach the sugar figures to the cake use a dab of water on a paint brush. Or simply lay the cut outs over your favourite buttercream icing.
- Decorate with flowers and animals. Run a knife under the cake and put onto a plate
