Hello!! Today I'll be listing how to make some special Valentines cakes for your loved ones!! You can make these on your own or with your kids, either is just as good!!
Ingredients :
2 eggs
200g self raising flour
200g caster sugar
200g soft butter or margarine
a couple of drops of vanilla extract
jam
Frosting :
1 egg white
1tsp glycerol
icing sugar
food colouring
Method :
- Beat the butter and sugar until evenly creamed
- Beat the eggs and add a little at a time along with the vanilla extract, if mixture starts to split, add a little bit of flour and continue to mix
- Add the flour a little at a time and combine until evenly mixed.
- Split between 2 round tins, or if you have a heart shaped tin put the mix in that, if not never fear!! We can cut the shape after :)
- Bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 mins, 180 - 200 degrees.
- When the cake is cooked take it from the oven and leave to cool in the tin, after about 5 mins transfer it to a wire rack and leave until completey cooled.
- When cooled, sandwich the two cakes together with plenty of jam in the middle.
- Cut away parts of the cake to make the cake resemble a heart shape.
- Make the frosting by combining the egg yolk and the glycerol and then beat in icing sugar a little at a time. I haven't put a measurement for this as its completely down to you how thick you want your frosting to be. Add a few drops of pink or red food colouring and if you like some edible glitter.
- Apply the frosting to the cake and smooth out with a pallet knife or just a normal butter knife!
Thats it!! Its pretty easy!! Just a standard cake with a special Valentines Day twist!!
