Hi everyone, I'm going to try make a cake for my daughters birthday using fondant. I'm wanting to know what is teh besy cake to use. I would like a chocolate or vanilla cake. (recipes are very welcome please)
When would i prepare the cake! Someone told me it had to be made at least 3 days before to harden before putting the fondant on. And a cream of some sort before the fondant goes on.
Will stay moist for quite a few days so you will be able to prepare it before hand.
Lemon Madeira Cake.
1 cup milk125gm butter. Bring these to the boilIn a mixer, beat 4 eggs and gradually adds 2 cups sugar, 1 pkt lemon jelly chrystals and 1 tsp vanilla essence. Beat until thick, then add 2 and a 1/4 cups of plain flour, 1/4 tsp salt and 2 tsp baking powder.
. Mix then quickly stir in the boiled milk and butter. Turn the mixture into two 7 or 8 inch lined tines and bake 180c for 20 minutes. If using a novelty shaped pan bake the whole mixture for 40 minutes at 180c or until skewer comes out clean.
Good recipe for iced Birthday cakes, or cup cakes.
