Ingredients
Traybake cake
- 250 g Softened butter
- 250 g Caster sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 Medium Eggs
- 220 g Self-raising flour
- 30 g Cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons Milk
Topping
- 190 g Icing sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- Few Tablespoons Chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180℃ (160℃ for fan ovens) and line an 8x10-inch baking tin.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar then stir in the vanilla extract. An electric hand whisk is handy for this.
- Whisk in the eggs, flour, cocoa powder and milk, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth cake batter.
- Transfer the batter to your lined tin and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for around 10 minutes then flip it out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
Icing and sprinkles
- Mix the icing sugar and cocoa powder together then stir in the milk. To make your icing thinner, add more milk, and to make it thicker, add more icing sugar.
- Spread the icing on top of the cake then top with the chocolate sprinkles.
- Leave the icing to harden then cut into slices and enjoy!
