This has to be my favourite sponge recipe!

It has such a light fluffy texture and tastes great. Even better... It is super easy!!

Ingredients

5 eggs
100g sugar
100g flour plain

whisk eggs in cake mixer.
gradually add sugar.
whisk on high for 10mins
 while it is whisking prepare a lined tin with baking paper.

IMPORTANT:Be gentle when handling and taking  the mixture out of the bowl to ensure you do not break any air created during whisking!

 Sprinkle flour over whisk beater and fold through using whisk beater. Get rid of any obvious patches of flour. Cut and fold with spatula.
put in your lined greased tin.
 bake at 205degrees for 5min then 190degrees for 15-20mins

I Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Really quick and easy celebration cake idea! July #2!

Hey everyone!

Today I'm sharing with you a really quick and easy way of decorating a cake for a special occasion :)

There has been so many times when it is people birthdays and I get really excited about making them a birthday cake, except I always seem to be rushed off my feet doing other things! - (working, studying)

So basically all you need for this idea is to use your most favourite cake recipe! eg: sponge cake, chocolate cake, vanilla cake. Just whatever you feel like :)

My favourite quick go to cake is:

Chocolate mud cake (you only need one bowl!)

2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream or yoghurt
3/4 cup cocoa
200g soft butter
2 tsps baking soda
1 1/2 tsps vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups self raising flour
1 cup boiling strong coffee

Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat for 1 minute!

cook for 1 hour at 160 degrees celcius

Easy as that!!

now for the decorating!

I cut the cake in half and put cream and jam in the middle (an easy classic)

spread cream on the outside of the cake and this one has chocolate flakes on the sides and chopped nuts on the top :)
I have piped cream around the edges make chocolate heart decorations to finish it off.

If you have any question about this idea or want more ideas, feel free to comment below :)

Do you have any ideas you would like to share?
