Ingredients

  • 4 Large eggs
  • 250g The Pantry Self Raising Flour
  • 250g The Pantry Caster Sugar
  • 250g Perfect for Cakes Spread
  • 100g Grandessa Strawberry Jam or Chocolate & Hazelnut Spread
  • 3 x 450g Cake Angels Vanilla Icing
  • White card for ears
  • Pink marshmallows and some chocolate spread for face and ears
  • Icing bag with a star nozzle

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
  • Line the bottom of your cake tins with greaseproof paper and lightly grease the sides.
  • Put the eggs, flour, caster sugar and spread in a food processor and blend until thoroughly mixed.
  • Divide this mixture between the cake tins.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until risen and firm to the touch.
  • Allow to cool in the tins before turning out.
  • If the cakes are very domed, slice the tops off to level them.
  • Spread the jam or chocolate spread over the top of one of the cakes, then stack them on top of each other.
  • Use some of the vanilla icing to cover the top of the cake.
  • Put some in an icing bag and make swirls around the side of the cake and the edge of the top, like curly wool.
  • Cut the white card to make some ears, use the marshmallows to make a nose and the chocolate spread for eyes, eyebrows and a mouth.
