This is a cake you'll want to make, especially if you're a footie fan. It's called a Ball In A Bowl because you make it and bake it in a bowl! You'll need two one litre oven-proof bowls, but don't worry if you haven't got two - you can still make the cake with one! In a bigger mixing bowl, mix 250g of butter with 250g of caster sugar. Add to this 250g of self raising flour, five eggs and two and half teaspoons of baking powder. Drop in a dash of vanilla essence too, then mix thoroughly. Lightly grease your oven-proof bowl(s) and lightly cover the inside with flour. Divide the mixture evenly between the two bowls. If you haven't got two bowls, the mixture will keep perfectly well in the fridge whilst the first cake cooks. Cook for 45 minutes on 150 degrees celsius (gas mask 3) until they're well risen and firm to the touch. Strawberry jam makes a great filling. Just add a generous amount to the flat part of one cake, then spread it out to the edges using a back of the spoon. When done, add the second cake on the top, like this. Next comes the icing. You need some white, ready-made icing for this. Roll it out into a circle. The easiest way to pick it up is to lay it over a rolling pin, like this. Lay it over the cake, like this. Tuck in the icing, all the way round the base, as neatly as you can. If there's any excess, just trim it off. The hexagon shapes for the icing are made from black ready-made icing. If you're not sure of the correct shape for a hexagon, why not print out this template? Stick on the hexagons by dabbing on water with a pastry brush. That completes the cake! For other ideas, how about a football shirt like this? Here are the details. You will need: 4 Eggs 200g Self Raising Flour 200g Butter 200g Caster Sugar A few drops of Vanilla Essence You'll also need a 20cm x 20cm cake tin or alternatively you could buy one in a t-shirt shape! And here's what to do: 1. Cream together the butter and sugar. 2. Add the eggs, sifted flour and flavouring. 3. Mix thoroughly. 4. Pour into a greased and floured baking tray. 5. Cook for 1 hour at 170C or gas mark 4until it’s firm to the touch. 6. Once the cake has cooled, cut a 5cm strip off one end. Cut this in half and then use jam to stick each piece to either side of your cake at one end. Instant sleeves! 7. Cover the T- shirt shape in ready rolled icing. Use piping icing to add details like the number and name of your favourite player. You’re ready for kick off! And if football's not your game, you could adapt the Ball In A Bowl cake idea by making a basketball... ...a tennis ball... ...or a cricket ball! All equally delicious.
