We are back sharing recipes again after a bit of a break staying with family in the Southern Highlands. While we were away we celebrated Sophie’s Grandpa’s birthday and Soph made a yummy strawberry swirl cake with her Uncle Tee Tee to celebrate!
This yummy cake was a big hit with everyone, its so fun & festive as well as delicious! Soph chose strawberry flavour and pink coloured cake with blue icing, however you can really use any colour scheme and flavour you like. Soph had a ball as always making this cake and loved choosing the colour schemes & helping to decorate… she always loves adding the fairy sprinkles at the end! It’s a really quick & easy cake to make too, perfect for any celebration! Here is our recipe, enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 125g butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups self raising flour
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon strawberry essence (or any flavour of your choice)
- Decorations and food colours of your choice!
Method:
