- Add vanilla essence and milk to mixture until it is a consistency that it drops easily from a spoon.
- Transfer mixture to the baking tray and cover the top with foil to get an even bake. Bake for 50 minutes.
- Use a cake tester or knife to ensure cake is cooked, tester when inserted in cake should be clear of mixture. Allow cake to thoroughly cool down after baking.
- Once cooked make a watery sugar syrup using a teaspoon or two of icing sugar and warm water. Drizzle over cake.
- In a bowl sieve the 100g icing sugar and then add food colouring. I used food gel and a little water for mine as gel not liquid enough. Mix together gradually to get a consistency that runs of the spoon but not to wet that it slides of the cake. Be quick to spread the icing quickly on the cake before it sets.
- Trim cakes edges for neatness, decorate if desired and slice into rectangular blocks. Approx 16 slices depending on what portion size you require. I tried to use icing sugar to lighten up my vivid pink, which did not work so I opted for white chocolate stars!
