These splodge cakes look and taste fantastic.
They have just as much colour on the inside as they do on the outside!
|
Even though the cakes are multi-coloured, you just start off with one mixture.
Cream together 100g of butter and 100g of sugar.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
You'll also need 100g of sifted self raising flour and 2 eggs.
Pop both of those in with the creamed sugar and butter, and get mixing!
|
|
When mixed, divide the cake mixture into three equal portions.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
Here's how to make these little cakes in camouflage colours.
|
For the brown, use a tablespoon of cocoa powder.
Just add it into one of the portions of cake mixture.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
...and for the green, use concentrate paste or food colouring.
Again, add to another portion of cake mixture, then mix.
|
Once the colours are mixed, you need to splodge!
There are two ways you can do this - you can either get a spoonful and splodge it in...
|  |
 |
 |
 |
...or you can put your mixture into a bag, snip off one of the corners and squirt it in!
|
because you're splodging the colours in, they don't get mixed up.
And when you bake them, the colours will stay separate so that you get a really colourful cake.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
When you've done them all, cook the cakes at 190 degrees celsius or gas mark 5 for 15 minutes.
|
Once the cakes have cooked and cooled, you can ice them. The design looks really complicated, but it's very simple!
Start off by getting your icing in camouflage colours - brown, green and yellow.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
Roll out one of the colours with a rolling pin, but remember to put some icing sugar down first so that it doesn't get stuck to the table!
|
Then, tear off blobs of the coloured icings.
Place them on the rolled out icing, then if you roll again, you'll see the pattern start to emerge!
|  |
 |
 |
 |
Next, get a cutter that's the same size as the top of your cake, and cut out a circle of icing.
|
|
Then just carefully place the icing on top of each cake, like a lid.

Splodge cakes - fun to make and great to taste!
