kitkat cake (sorry blogger deleted it so i had to do it again)

 

hey guys so blogger deleted my kitkat cake blog so im putting this up again. I thought of showing you an intresting and fun cake. I made the kitkat cake for one of my aunties birthday and everyone said they liked it.

I used 2 silicone moulds 8x8 they are really easy to use and the cakes come out easily!

 

for these 2 moulds i made a mixture of 16 ounces all together

ingredients:

16 ounces of self raising flour

16 ounces of butter

16 ounces of caster sugar

8 large eggs

2 tsp of vanilla essence

a tsp of baking powder

4 tbsp of water

6-7 tbsp of cocoa powder(if you want but you need to take 6-7 tbsp of flour out)

decoration:

i just bought a tub of chocolate frosting and i used half of it but you dont need to use chocolate you could use any frosting

method:

1.preheat ur oven to 190°c and line your tin/mould with grese proof paper or butter or even the 1 calorie butter spray(i use this for my cakes and the cakes pop out after a couple of minutes)

2. mix the butter and sugar together until it feels smooth

3 one by one crack the eggs and add them into the mixture. Mix it for a couple of minutes during this add your water and vanilla essence

4. after add in the flour baking powder and cocoa powder (if you want) mix it until it is light and fluffy

5. after it has been well mixed together and is light and fluffy you can start pouring the mixture into the tins/moulds make sure they are leveled out

6. put the cakes in for around 20-25 mins you should be able to put a knife /skewer throught the middles of the cakes when you take the knife/skewer out they should be clean

7. leave the cakes to cool for around an hour after that cut around the edges and the top of the cakes equally

8. spread the buttercream/frosting on the middle of your bottom cake and put your other cake on top. Spread the frosting and the top of the cakes and on the sides

9. i used roughly 40-45 kitkat finger and broke them apart to be single ones so it would be easy to cut through the cake

10. i also used about 7-8 tubes of smarties to decorate over the top you could scatter them on. I pushed them towards a corner of the cake and it formed a curve.

11. after that find a nice ribbon to tie around your cake and your done!:)

thank you for reading this point i'll show you a new cake soon

 

simple cake for any occasion

So at the end of january it was my 19yr old old cousins birthday and my grandparents 52nd wedding anniversary, we also missed my 18yr old cousins birthday on the 8th so we had a party for all the celebrations but we didnt want 3 cakes so i made 1 cake for the 3 of them to share! This is what it looked like:

As i have an extended family (3 big families) there had to be cupcakes for the younger ones.

ingredients:

16 ounces of self raising flour

16 ounces of butter

16 ounces of caster sugar

8 large eggs

2 tsp of vanilla essence

a tsp of baking powder

2 tbsp of water

6-7 tbsp of cocoa powder(if you want but you need to take 6-7 tbsp of flour out)

decoration:

500g of icing sugar

250g butter

2 tbsp of vanilla essence

3-4 tbsp of cocoa powder(use more if you want a darker colour)

fondante

gel colours

gumpaste/flowerpaste

5 boxes of chocolate fingers

letters and number cutter

method:

1.preheat your oven to 190°c and line your tin/mould with grease proof paper or butter or even the 1 calorie butter spray(i use this for my cakes and the cakes pop out after a couple of minutes)

2. mix the butter and sugar together until it feels smooth

3 one by one crack the eggs and add them into the mixture. Mix it for a couple of minutes during this add your water and vanilla essence

4. after add in the flour baking powder and cocoa powder (if you want) mix it until it is light and fluffy

5. after it has been well mixed together and is light and fluffy you can start pouring the mixture into the tins/moulds make sure they are leveled out

6. put the cakes in for arou out nd 20-25 mins you should be able to put a knife /skewer throught the middles of the cakes when you take the knife/skewer out they should be clean

7. leave the cakes to cool for around an hour after that cut around the edges and the top of the cakes equally

8. whilst they are cooling you can make your frosting. Cream the butter until it is soft and then slowly add the icing sugar add some vanilla essence (and cocoa powder if you want)

9. spread the buttercream all over the cake apart from the bottom and place your cake on your board.

10. roll out some fondant/regal icing and cut out a square big enough to go over the top of the cake.

11. then around the cake place chocolate fingers (my cake was too big for the chocolate fingers so i had to use 1 and a half)

12. leave the cake in the fridge so the fingers and fondant on the top are hard

colour some gumpaste and cut a big shape out

13. then cut out letters or numbers small enough to fit on the shape you cut out

14. stick these all together with some water and a thin paint brush

(P.S this recipe is the same as the kitkat cake)
