Chocolate & Vanilla Flower Cake
- 170 grams Self Raising Flour
- 170 grams Caster Sugar
- 170 grams Unsalted Butter
- 3 Large Eggs
- 180 grams Icing Sugar
- 90 grams Cold Unsalted Butter
- 3 tsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 packages White Fondant Icing
- 1 Pink Gel Food Colouring
- 1 Writing Icing (in various colours)
- Mix together all of the cake ingredients until smooth.
- Divide separately into two cake tins and cook at 180c for 20-30 mins or until golden brown and springy.
- Remove cakes from tin and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Mix together the Icing Sugar & Butter filling ingredients.
- You can add more or less of the Cocoa Powder to your personal taste.
- Sprinkle in your desired amount of chocolate chips and fold in to the mix.
- When the cake is cool, spread the filling on to one half of the cake and even out.
- Place other half on top and press down lightly.
- Roll out the white icing.
- I did mine pretty thin but it's up to you how you want it.
- Lightly brush the top of the cake with jam and cover with the icing being careful to make it smooth.
- Trim off the extra.
- With the leftover icing, mix in a little of the food colouring until you reach your desired shade of pink.
- (Or any colour you would like)
- Roll out the pink icing and cut out your flower shapes.
- I used a Sugarcraft Plunger Cutter.
- You can use a cookie cutter or cut by hand
- Brush the back of each sparingly with jam and place where you like on the cake.
- With the Green writing icing, decorate with vines and leaves etc connecting the flowers.
- How you choose to design the tip is really up to you.
- Mine is just an example.
