Nikki made this spectacular cake for her friend Chris who is of course an avid skiier. After making it the cake then needed to endure an hour in the cake over gravel roads and survived the journey well.
Nikki’s favourite celebration cake recipe is one her friends fondly call the “crack cocaine cake,” one bite and you are addicted!

250g butter
3 eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Hi Helen have you been able to find some cupcake or muffins papers that dont stick I find with most of the fancy ones the cake does not come away cleanly
regards Kay
Hi Kay, yes I completely agree and it is something that is very frustrating when cases look lovely but things stick.
Sprink is a very good oil spray for coating tins and paper cases to make them nonstick.
