The cake recipe is from Kidspot and is super moist. It kept very well for 3 days in an airtight container, which is perfect for a birthday cake, as I can start it a couple of days before. The buttermilk gives it a delicious flavour. I made a large rectangular cake using a double quantity of the original recipe, so if you don’t want a cake this big, just halve the ingredients.
I had planned to ice the cake with butter icing, but my beaters died just as I was finishing up the cake (they have never worked so hard in their lives as they have recently!) As I’m writing this I have bid on Grays Online for a nice new one. So instead of butter icing I just dusted it with icing sugar instead, although Oscar did make me draw a chocolate spider in one corner!
Oscar’s verdict: Delicious!
