Mothers Day Cake




Ingredients for the cake:
- 250 grams butter
- 250 grams sugar
- 250 grams self-raising flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 dash of milk
- 1 dash of vanilla extract
- 1 heart shaped cutter (the size should be smaller than your cake!)
- red or pink food coloring

Ingredients for the frosting and decoration:
- 125 grams powdered sugar
- 40 grams butter
- 40 ml milk
- 2/3 drops vanilla extract
- Heart shaped decoration
- chocolate sprinkles
- pink sanding sugar

Method:

1. Preheat your oven up to a 150 degrees and grease a baking tin.
Mix the eggs, the milk, the vanilla extract and the sugar. Add the flour and the butter.

2. Take about 6 tablespoons of the batter and color it pink or red. Put the colored batter into a baking tin and bake the cake for about 40 minutes and wait until the cake is completely cooled!












3. Cut your cake into slices and cut out the hearts with your heart shaped cookie cutter. The slice should be as thick as your cookie cutter. Crumble the remaining cake and set aside.

4. Take your baking tin again and grease it. Cover up the bottom with the white batter. Place the pink hearts on the batter. Make sure that they connect. Cover up the cake with the white batter and bake the cake for about 50 minutes. Let the cake cool completely.







5. Lets start with the frosting. Mix the powdered sugar with the butter and add the milk. Add the vanilla extract to the frosting. Take your pink or red cake crumbles and decorate the cake with it.









6. Add the rest of your decoration such as heart shaped sweets, chocolate sprinkles or pink sanding sugar.

Good luck and enjoy your Mothers Day!
