Cake for my little prince

chocolate cake car shape
Tasty quick cake to bake, not the best decorated :)

Sponge cake
4 eggs
6 oz sugar
1 tsp vanilla
5 oz flour
1 tsp baking powder

Beat eggs till fluffy. Add sugar gradually and beat till creamy.

Mix flour and baking powder together. Add vanilla, then flour and baking powder into the mixture little at a time and beat well.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400F for about 1 hour or till the cake is done. Test the cake with a skewer inserted in the middle and it should come out clean.

For the shape of the car the cake was baked on a loaf pan. The batter doubles when baked, so make sure the batter is only poured to half level of the baking dish or it will over flow while baking.

Cool the cake in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely in a rack before icing.

Cut into a car shape and decorate with icing, cookies and jelly beans. Refrigerate for a little before serving.

Chocolate icing
Chocolate, cocoa powder, icing sugar and milk to mix.

White icing
Icing sugar mixed with butter.

  51. So cute! A nice-and-easy sponge recipe. Though clearly a car, it also reminds me of a Polaroid camera, but that's the shutterbug in me. ; ) Would love to have snapped a bite out of it.

    Hope your little boy had a wonderful day. I am partial to December B-Days - my brother is today, and I am 19th.
