Rainbow Birthday Cake

Method

1. Pre heat oven to 180C gas mark 6
2. Grease and line 2 deep 20cm cake tins
3. THE CAKE - In a large bowl beat the sugar and stork together then add the eggs one at a time. Fold in the self-raising flour and finally the milk. Divide the mixture between the 2 tins. Bake in the middle of the oven for around 40 minutes or until springy to the touch. Allow to cool for a few minutes in the tins then turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
4. BUTTERCREAM FILLING - In a bowl whisk up 100g stork & add the 140g icing sugar beat until a fluffy consistency. Sandwich the cakes together with jam and buttercream. Place on the wire rack on top of a tray and prepare the topping.
5. TOPPING / DECORATION - Take 8 mallows and into chunks to make the clouds and set aside. Place all the remaining white mallows from both packets into a pan, add 100ml of milk and melt on a very low heat, stirring continuously, until fully melted. Allow to cool a little but while still warm pour over the top and side of the cake. Allow to set for 30mins then add skittles in a rainbow and cluster the cut mallow pieces at each side for clouds…..you’re done!
