Everyday can be a celebration with our Chocolate Cake Mix.  For that small gathering or midweek celebration with family, a delicious easy to make Chocolate Cake hits the brief.  Whip it up in less than 5 minutes, and bake for 35 minutes, its an easy after work cake to create.

What you will need:

For the Cake:

• 500g Roberts Edible Craft Chocolate Mud Cake Mix
• 2 Extra Large Eggs (700g Packet)
• 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
• 2/3 Cup Water
• 80g Sprinkles Mix  (we used our Party Sprinkle Mix)

For the Icing

• 150g Chocolate Icing Sugar Mix
• 80g Unsalted Butter, softened (but not melted)
• 1 Tablespoon Milk

Filing (option)

• Roberts Edible Craft Bakers Jam

Equipment

• Two 6 inch Cake Tins lined with baking Paper

Step 1.

Get Ready and pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius, fan forced setting. Make sure your tins are lined.

Step 2.

Place the dry Chocolate Cake mix, eggs, oil and water into a medium sized bowl. Using a large spoon or spatula, mix until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the batter evenly into your two prepared tins. Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove cakes from the oven, and cool in the tins for 15 minutes, before turning onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Place the dry icing mix, softened butter and milk into a deep mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix on the lowest speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and base of the bowl. Mix on high speed for 3 minutes until icing is light and fluffy.

Step 5 - Lets Decorate!

Trim the cake layers if required, to create a flat and even top.

Place the first cake layer onto your serving plate, cut side facing up.

Spread a layer of Jam (if using) on top - or a thin layer of icing, just enough to stick the two cake layers together.

Place the second cake layer on top - cut side facing down.

Cover the entire cake with icing.

Sprinkle your chosen spinkle mix over the cake.  (we used our Party Mix Sprinkle Blend)

Handy tip - for exact placement of sprinkles to get the desired look, tweezers are a great help.
