Ingredients
- 250 g softened butter (1 cup)
- 250 g caster sugar (1+¼ cups)
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 medium eggs
- 250 g self-raising flour (2 cups)
- 3 Tablespoons milk
Topping:
- 200 g icing sugar (1+¾ cups)
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- ¼ Teaspoon Pink gel food colouring (more as needed)
- Few Tablespoons heart-shaped sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350℉ and line an 8x10-inch tin with baking paper. If you're using a fan or convection oven, it's 160℃/320℉.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix the eggs, flour, and milk in, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth cake batter.
- Transfer the batter to your lined tin and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for around 10 minutes then flip it out onto a wire rack and leave it to cool completely.
Topping:
- Mix the icing sugar and milk together to make a smooth, thick icing. Add more milk to make it thinner or add more icing sugar to make it thicker.
- Stir in the pink food colouring, adding more if needed until you achieve your desired colour.
- Spread the icing onto the cooled cake then top with the heart-shaped sprinkles.
- Leave the icing to harden, cut into slices and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
