Mr Tumble Cake
Make your own delicious cake that looks just like Mr Tumble!
This should take about 30 mins
You will need:
- 6 medium eggs
- 340g/12oz self-raising flour
- 340g/12oz butter
- 340g/12oz caster sugar
- 250ml whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons jam
- For the face: chocolate drops, glace cherry, candied peel, marshmallows, milk chocolate, white icing, food colouring, strawberry lace.
Remember to ask a Grown-up for help.
What to do:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Lightly butter and line the base of an 18cm/7in cake tin with greaseproof paper. Cream the butter and sugar until it's smooth. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Step 2
Sift and fold in the flour, a little at a time. Pour the mixture into the cake tin, level off the mixture with a palette knife and bake for about 90 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. (This time is not included in the 30 miniute make time we advised).
Step 3
Carefully put the two halves back together and the cake is ready to decorate. To make Mr Tumble's face, firstly mix a drop of red and yellow food colouring to make an orange colour. Add a tiny amount to some white icing and mix until it's a pale skin colour.
Step 4
Make a smiley mouth with the candied peel. Make a bow tie shape with the pink marshmallows, and add some strawberry lace or glace cherry pieces for the red spots. Mr Tumble is ready!
