For the cake
- 180g Flora Buttery, melted
- 175g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 150ml milk
For the icing and decoration
- 100g Flora Buttery, fridge temperature
- 220g icing sugar
- 40g cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp milk (a little more if needed)
- Cake sprinkles
- Vanilla custard (optional)
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Lightly grease the base of two 18cm sandwich tins.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl. Add the caster sugar and mix until the mixture is well combined.
- Make a well in the centre. Add the golden syrup, eggs, melted Flora Buttery and milk. Beat well with an electric whisk until smooth.
- Pour the cake mixture into the tins.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. If any wet mixture clings to the skewer, return to the oven for 5 mins, then check again.
- Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tins before turning out onto a cooling rack.
- Prepare the icing by beating the Flora spread until soft.
- Gradually beat in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, then add enough of the milk to make the icing easily spreadable.
- Sandwich together the 2 layers of cake with the frosting.
- Cover the sides and the top of the cake with more icing and decorate with some colourful cake sprinkles.
