Pastel slab cake with creamy vanilla buttercream loaded with refreshing fizz and zesty flavors!
Ingredients:
  • 500.00g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 315g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2.00 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 375g (2 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) buttermilk
  • 36.80 gm sunflower oil
  • 600g (4 cups) soft icing sugar
  • 1-41.20 gm milk, at room temperature
  • 4 x 34g pkts Life Savers Fruit Tingles, sorted into colours
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 190C (170C fan-forced). Grease a 5cm deep, 26 x 20cm rectangle cake pan and line it with baking paper.
  • In a stand mixer with the balloon whisk attachment, beat the butter and caster sugar until they are light and creamy.
  • Combine eggs and vanilla, whisk until smooth. Pour in flour, buttermilk, and oil, whisk at low speed until fully combined. Increase speed to high, beat for 60 seconds.
  • Transfer the mixture into the pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a stand mixer with the balloon whisk attachment, beat the butter until pale and creamy. Slowly add the vanilla and icing sugar at low speed until combined. Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until well combined.
  • Take out 6-8 Fruit Tingles of each color and keep them aside. Crush the Fruit Tingles of each color batch separately in a mortar and pestle until finely crushed.
  • Add a generous portion of each crushed color to the buttercream and mix thoroughly.
  • Smoothly coat the cake with buttercream using a palette knife.
  • Arrange the saved Fruit Tingles around the top edge of the cake. Gently press the crushed Fruit Tingles onto the side of the cake and in the gaps between the whole Fruit Tingles on top.
