Tanya Burr's Sunday Cake Recipe

Hi chappes,

Today I wanted to share a recipe with you which is Tanya Burr's Sunday Cake Recipe. I know its not Sunday but its a great cake for anytime of the week. And i have decorated it slightly different to hers so i wanted to share what I used. And just to warn you this cake does use a lot of chocolate! X

Ingredients: 

170g unsalted butter

170g caster sugar

3 eggs

140g self-raising flour

30g cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the Butter Icing:

90g Butter

170g icing sugar

cocoa powder, to taste

For the toppings;

200g milk chocolate

My decorations;

3 packets of chocolate fingers

1 packet of mixed buttons

1 box of maltesers 

Method:

. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line the baking sheets

. Mix all the cake ingredients until combined

. Bake for 18-20 minutes and leave to cool

. For the butter icing, mix all the ingredients together till smooth and once the cake is cooled spread the icing over one cake and sandwich them together.

. For the topping - melt the milk chocolate and spread it all around the cake.

. I decorated it by creating button flowers- by placing a malteser n the middle and surrounding it by buttons. Then covered the circumference of the cake with the chocolate fingers. But you can decorate by whatever you like X

. And enjoy!!
