  • Made this cake yesterday for my childs birthday...

    Submitted by Aunty Lani on 6. November 2017 - 12:33.

    Made this cake yesterday for my childs birthday cake. I added a drop of gel food colour to make it pink as that was the request from the threenager. Cake mix tasted great but I was concerned that it would not rise too much. It didn't. Used the cake anyway and it tasted lovely. Butter cream icing was a little sweet and still a bit grainy. I should have scraped the bowl and milled again. Would definitely use this recipe again but will try it in cupcakes next time.

  • Have made the frosting

    Submitted by kennedyrh on 13. December 2014 - 11:30.

    Have made the frosting several times now, it is so easy snd works every time. I add about quarter teaspoon of gel food colouring for birthday cakes. Looks great. However tried the cake recipe without success, tastes ok but doesnt rise, I think its because I add baking powder to plain flower, I will try again with store bought self raising flower.
