Ingredients

  • 1 pack of smarties
  • 200 g of stork with butter
  • 375 g of self raising flour, sieved
  • 375 g of stork original
  • 375 g of caster sugar
  • 6 large of eggs
  • 2.5 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 400 g of icing sugar, sieved
  • 1 pack of cake confetti sprinkles

Method

  1. Step 1

    Grease and line the bases of 3 x 8” cake tins. Preheat the oven to 160c(fan)/180c/Gas Mark 4.
  2. Step 2

    Cream together the Stork Original and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tsp of vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Sift in the flour and fold in until well blended.
  3. Step 3

    Divide the mixture between the 3 tins and bake in the oven for 25-30minutes until golden on top and springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  4. Step 4

    Prepare the icing - beating together the Stork with Butter, icing sugar and 0.5 tsps of vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. Step 5

    Level the tops of the 3 cakes using a sharp serrated knife. Cut out the centres of 2 of the cakes with a sharp knife or cookie cutter to create 2 rings.
  6. Step 6

    Set the first ring onto a serving plate or cake board and sandwich together with the next ring using a layer of icing. Fill the centre of the ring with chocolate candy beans.
  7. Step 7

    Coat the top of the ring with icing and place the full round cake into position. Coat the top and sides of the cake with the remaining icing.
  8. Step 8

    Use the tip of a palette knife to create a ridged style in the sides and top of the icing. Decorate with sprinkles and serve.
