Need
- 1 Batch Butter Cake batter Recipe
- 150 Grams Sprinkles
- 1 Batch Ermine Frosting Recipe
-
Cake Soak
- 50 Grams Milk
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla bean paste BUY
Do
- 1
Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 9"x 12" slab tin with baking paper. You could also bake it in round tins if preferred, then just trim the edges..
- 2
Make Buttercake as per recipe, adding sprinkles at the very end 10 seconds/speed 3
- 3
Bake slab for 35-45 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cake cool slightly in the tin before tipping out onto a wire rack, let it completely cool.
- 4
Cut out 2 x 6" circles of cake. Use cake tins as a guide. Then cut both circles in half, so you have 4 equal layers of cake.
- 5
To make the cake soak, combine the milk and vanilla in a small bowl, and using a pastry brush, brush each layer of cake until all cake soak is used.
- 6
Using a piping bag with a 1cm nozzle, pipe Ermine Frosting in between each layer including the top. Don't ice the sides as you want the sprinkles to show. Smooth the icing on top with a scraper, or leave it rustic.
- 7
Decorate as desired. We used macarons, extra coloured sugar treats and a celebrate cutout that you can source from cake specialty stores.
