@Flo that’s my favourite cake! Do you have a recipe you use Flo?? Birthday twin 🩵🩷
https://www.withlovekitty.com/white-chocolate-cupcakes/ I leave out the white chocolate and use this sponge recipe. When doing it as 1 big cake cook for 30 mins or until golden and tester comes out of the cake clean. It's so easy and tastes great. It's an easy recipe to mix with a fork too if you don't have cake beaters. I'm going to try swap the cow milk for coconut milk and see how that works
@Ebony making me 🤤 Thank you 🫶🏽
@Hayley oh wait till you taste it!! Honestly it's the best sponge recipe I've found and I've made LOADS!! I first made it for my partner's birthday. With the white chocolate it's REALLY sweet, almost heart attack level sweet. I have managed to adjust the recipe into a chocolate cake recipe too
@Ebony you’re not helping me here - I’m licking my lips - I could eat your cake NOW 😂🤤🫶🏽
I just go by the ratio 4 egg, 8ozs of butter, sugar, flour and a dash o f vanilla He's a fruit monster just hasn't had added sugar stuff yet really apart from some ice cream haha
@Flo thank you. Victoria sponge is my fave 🤍
Normal cake is fine by me. I normally do a big chocolate cake for everyone and then a small Victoria sponge for the baby to wreak. I think I’m going to switch from the classic sponge to a chiffon cake this time for the baby cake because I did one for a SIL and it was so nice and waaaaay less sugar… I think my third might actually eat the whole cake so probably better to cut down a bit.
Chiffon cake (I think). Sounds fancy but was easy, even with a crap mixer https://youtu.be/8a2OL0wLOs4?si=sak6sBjRCAihKNlA
Chocolate cake https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/easy_chocolate_cake_31070
Swiss meringue buttercream I think had less sugar (and is smoother) than the much simpler American buttercream but I found you need a really good mixer to do it
@Kierrah now YOU’RE making my mouth water! Thank you I’ll look these up 🎂
For my daughters 1st birthday I'm going to probably get a pretty basic cake and just put some decorations on top to make it look fancy. It's going to be her time trying sugar! She's going to love it even if she doesn't remember it😂
I'm going to let it be his first taste of sugar so doing a standard Victoria sponge with cream and strawberry compote rather than jam
