H is for Happy Birthday (Cake)

Hmmm, I think I’m starting to stretch it slightly with my tenuous alphabetical links to the A-Z Challenge but it’s my blog so I can pretty much do what I like 🙂

This is an amazing Rainbow Cake that my eldest daughter made for my youngest daughter’s birthday.  Not only did it look INCREDIBLE but it tasted fantastic – moist and flavoursome.  The thin layer of butter icing between each sponge added up to the perfect ratio of cream and cake.

We used this recipe from bbcgoodfood.com .  It’s quite time consuming (especially as I only had one cake tin so we had to bake each layer individually.  Obviously, you’ll be more sensible and stick a few layers in together!) but it was totally worth it.
