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.
