Step 1 ) I softened 250g of butter in the mircowave for about 3 seconds. Then put it in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Add 1 tsp of vanilla essence and 250g of caster sugar. Mixed for about 1.5 minutes with an electric beater.
Step 2 ) Add 5 eggs while still mixing with the beater, continue to mix for 5 minutes.
Step 3 ) Add 100g of choco powder and mix again. Then add 250ml of thickened cream and mix again.
Step 4 ) Put aside the electric beater and using a cake spatula; fold inn 50g of plain flour and 200g of self-raising flour.
Step 5 ) After the mixture has been stirred properly, scoop the mixture into a baking tin that has been sprayed with canola oil. Spread the mixture to the sides of the baking tin, leave 1.5cm for the cake to raise.
I bought premade icing and used these funky tubes of coloured jelly to draw the word 'Menewsha' and the mascot. They are called "cake mate". The symbols are made out of these shiney silver ball things my mum had. My mum gave me the instructions for the cake but I made it. I'd never made a cake before so when I used the beater, the mixture flew everywhere! lol
