Icing

  3. Add the remaining icing sugar with a little liquid and the essence, to bring to the correct, smooth consistency.

Hints & Tips

  • To change this to a plain vanilla cake:
Leave out the cocoa, and add in 60 g (125 ml) SPAR cake flour instead.
Reduce the castor sugar to 525 g (625 ml) and add in 5 ml lemon essence.
  • A chilled or day-old cake makes spreading of the icing easier, A freshly baked cake may be problematic as the crumbs lift away into the icing more readily, as you spread.
