Impress Mom with a delicious homemade butter cake just for her.
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 60g butter, at room temperature
  • 140g (2/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla extract
  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
  • 150g (1 cup) icing sugar mixture
  • 25g butter, extra, at room temperature
  • 20.00 gm hot water
  • 2 drops pink food colouring
  • Sugar flowers, to decorate
  • Queen Writing Fudge White Chocolate, to decorate
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Use melted butter to lightly grease a heart-shaped 17cm cake pan (4-cup capacity) and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric beater to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
  • Gently sprinkle the flour over the egg mixture and pour in the milk. Use a large metal spoon to carefully fold everything together until fully combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the pan and use a spoon to create a smooth surface. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Sift icing sugar into a bowl, then mix in the butter and water until smooth. Add food coloring and mix well. Spread the icing on the cake, letting some run over the edges. Place flowers on top and use writing fudge to spell "Mum" in the middle. Let the icing set before serving.
