June 29, 2014

Hello!

I have thoroughly neglected this blog recently- not that I haven’t been baking, but I have been writing other, more studious things. I am, however, back with a serious bang, with a cake I call Livi’s storecupboard broke jumble sparkle cake. YEAH, YOU HEARD.

So this Sunday has been sponsored by laziness, the kind of laziness where you talk to yourself to keep yourself awake. By 4pm however, I rallied, and for the last two hours I have been typing and arranging primary sources for my thesis, and needed to inject some sparkle into my Sunday.

So here is a bloody easy cake, very delicious, and will feed 5000 if they all share politely.

Livi’s Storecupboard Broke Jumble Sparkle Cake

This was a recipe born out of need for a cake, with no money and no real ingredients. I had some cake sparkles, a tombola Crunchie, an old flake and some abandoned gummies. Party cake ready!

Chocolate 

150g Butter

150g Sugar

150g Flour

3 eggs

2 teaspoons of Baking Powder

3 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder

Put the butter and sugar in a food processor, until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time. Add in the flour, cocoa and baking powder.

Put in a large roasting tray and bake at 180c until a knife comes out clean.

Vanilla

Same process, but leave out the cocoa, and put in a tablespoon of vanilla extract, the seedier the better.

Icing

Butter

Icing sugar

Cocoa Powder/ vanilla extract

Tablespoon of Greek Yoghurt

I have trouble in exact measurements for icing because everyone is different, but I start with about 125g grams of soft butter, and basically add to taste.

For the vanilla,  add the yoghurt and vanilla to the butter first, then the icing sugar until you have spreadable consistency- taste it!

For the chocolate, do the same, but add equal parts cocoa and icing sugar. 🙂

Its a glorious messeveryone, like my life!
