  1. Some people dont like jam, so you could make a sponge cake with icing on and then some rainbow sprinkles :)
  2. Chocolate cake: 250g butter,150ml milk,125 g yogurt,2 eggs,2 cups sugar,4 sp cocoa,baking soda( for dough and glaze),2 cups flour Dough: 2 sp cocoa,1 1/2 cup sugar,baking soda,2 cups flour are mix when it's are dry.Add 1/2 cup of milk,1/2 cup of yogurt, 100 g soft butter,2 eggs. Mix well and bake in baking dish (not in cake pan) in oven in 200oC. Glaze: 2 sp cocoa,25g soft butter,4 sp sugar, 2 sp milk. Mix well.Put all over the cake. Garnish with grate cokonuts and chocolate's
  3. go to the store and buy some cupcakes. half vanilla half chocolate.
  4. The absolute easiest thing to do is bake a box cake mix, and spread with can of frosting. You can get creative by putting nuts between your two cake layers, covering the top with sprinkles, or colored sugar. They sell food spraypaint next to the food coloring, and you could make a tye dye sort of effect. You can draw a soccer or basketball with food icing. you can lift the knife as you spread frosting to create a porkupine effect, or use your fork to create grooves and lines. You could try baking a dump cake (easiest thing in the world, yet so delicious) 20 ounces crushed pineapple 16 ounces cherry pie filling 1 package yellow cake mix, dry 1 1/2 sticks butter, sliced Dump all ingredients into 9*12 baking pan (do not drain cans) (do not stir) and bake at 350 F until brown, approximately 1 hour.
  5. ~Easiest Cake Ever~ 1 1/2 cup S.R Flour (sifted) 1 cup sugar 1 egg (beaten) 3 tbs Butter (melted) 2 tbs cocoa powder (optional) 1 cup water (add slowly while stirring) Grease cake tin and preheat fan forced oven to 180 degrees. Put all dry ingredients in bowl, mix with wooden spoon. Add egg and butter and mix well. Add water while stirring until you get a batter consistency. Bake for around 30 mins, then turn on a cake rack to cool. Ice once cooled using: icing sugar water cocoa powder (optional) NOTE: If you want to add a drop of vanilla essence to the cake mix, you can, but its not necessary otherwise.
  6. Do you have the little cup cake cases. Well what I would do is melt a large bar of chocolate, any type, then when it is totally melted put Rice krispies or corn flakes or just any breakfast cereal in and mix it up lightly then put a spoon full in each case and put into the fridge. So easy it would be all done in ten mins.

  13. Easiest things ever to make...and they disappear really really quickly! Chocolate Mars Bar Krispies! Melt 3 Large Mars Bars with 1 tablespoon of butter over a pan of simmering water in a glass bowl. Then add Rice Krispies...and keep adding them til there are no lumps of chocolate left (about 200g?) Alternatively, the easiest sponge recipe ever...8oz Sugar, 8oz Butter, 4 Eggs, 8oz Self Raising Flour and 1tsp vanilla extract. Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix until just combined...dont work it for too long It will make about 24 cup cakes or one 8 Inch Round Cake (2 Sandwich Pans). Cook the Cupcakes for 20 Minutes at 170*c. Or large cake for about 25 minutes at the same temperature! Hope this helps!
