Birthday baking

Today is my boyfriend's birthday. Seeing as it's his 21st I had to think of something pretty spectacular and different to the chocolate cakes I have made before. I did a lot of research for inspiration on pinterest and amazingly I found the perfect cake but added my own twist.

Ingredients

8oz Margarine

8oz Caster Sugar

4 Eggs

8oz Self Raising Flour

4oz Cocoa Powder

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

100g Milk/Dark Chocolate Chunks

10oz Icing Sugar

4oz Butter

2oz Cocoa Butter

2tbsp Milk

100g Fudge Pieces

Smarties

Ferrero Rocher's 

Kit Kats

1. Mix the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
2. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then add half of this egg mixture to the butter mix. Add the vanilla extract and half the flour and cocoa powder, combine really well.
3. Once the mixture is well mixed, add the remaining eggs, flour, cocoa powder and the chocolate chunks.
4. Place into two cake tins and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 180 Degrees.

For the icing:

1. Mix the butter until soft, add the cocoa powder and gradually all of the icing sugar, adding milk where necessary to get the right consistency.
2. Once the sponges have cooled, sandwich them together using the icing in the middle. Then ice the top of the cake and all down the sides.

And the decoration is the fun part, add as many sweets and chocolates as you desire!
