- How to decorate your Kerwhizz cake
Step 1
Before you start making the cake it is a good idea to pre make the three Pods and the chequered flag out of the different coloured ready to roll icing.
Step 2
You will need an adult to help you with the following steps. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or VERY gently in a microwave. Then leave this to cool slightly. Mix together the butter, sugar, vanilla essence and eggs. Now add the melted chocolate. Fold in the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder, then add the milk and mix.
Step 3
Pour into a greased/floured or greased/lined tin and bake for one hour (less in a fan oven). Then let the cake cool, after which you can add the icing.
Step 4
Add the sugar to the evaporated milk in a pan, and let it dissolve over a low heat. Gently bring it to the boil, stirring constantly, until it forms 'soft balls' when a teaspoon full is dropped into water (standard fudge test). Then stir in the chocolate and butter, and food colouring. Allow it to cool slightly so that it will spread on the cake and not slide off. If it becomes too hard, you can re-warm in the pan. Cut the slightly domed top off your cake to flatten it, and turn it upside down.
Step 5
Spread the green fudge icing over the top and side of your cake. In a food bag, add some desiccated coconut and more green food colouring - shake the bag, holding the top closed! Keep adding the food colouring until you are happy with the colour.
