Its been a little while since I baked cakes, so I thought I would do just that as they are my favourite things to bake. I love that you can be as creative as you want and I like to try out new flavour combinations.
I made plain sponge with vanilla and white chocolate chunk frosting with strawberry laces to decorate. I have made some similar cakes before which went down well with my family and friends that said I decided to attempted to recreate them for the blog!
The combination of the vanilla essence, white chocolate and the strawberry laces work very well together and give a nice, soft and delicious taste (although maybe I'm bias!!)
I used my usual recipe:
Sponge-
8oz Margarine/butter
8oz Caster sugar
4 Medium free range eggs
8oz self raising flour
Mix the margarine/butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, add the egg and flour in stages and mix well.
Frosting
250g Icing sugar sieved
80g Butter (Unsalted)
25ml Whole milk
A few drops of vanilla essence
White chocolate (I used Nestle milky bar, cut into small chunks)
Strawberry laces to decorate (you could add these to the frosting before putting the frosting on the cakes for a different look)
Mix the butter and sieved icing sugar together until well combined, add the milk and essence to the mix then add the chocolate chunks.
