Preparation Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Serves: 1 four-layer cake (about 20 slices)
Ingredients
For the cake:
180ml cooking oil
500g Snowflake Creations Vanilla Flavoured Cake Mix
3 extra large Eggs, room temperature
250ml milk
For the icing:
150g butter or baking margarine, softened
300g vanilla-flavoured icing mix
30ml milk
Food colouring
Edible pearls, balls and sprinkles
PLUS fondant icing or coloured modelling chocolate for decoration
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Mix eggs, oil and milk with an electric mixer for about 30 seconds until the mixture is a light creamy colour, then add cake mix.
- Beat batter with an electric mixer on low heat for about 30 seconds until incorporated. Increase to high speed and beat for about 4 minutes until smooth and combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into two greased 20cm round cake tins or three 16cm round cake tins, and bake for about 30 minutes (if using smaller tins, reducing baking time slightly).
- Beat the softened butter or baking margarine with an electric mixer on high speed for about 1 minute until creamy.
- Combine icing mix with butter/baking margarine and beat on low speed until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the milk and mix for about 2 minutes on high speed until creamy. Divide the icing into batches and use food colouring with galaxy colours to get the desired colours.
- Ice one layer of the cake, then add the second layer of cake. Blend your galaxy colours slightly on the sides and surface for a far-out look!
- Use modelling chocolate or fondant to create space-themed toppers and decorations for the cake like spaceships, rockets, stars, moons and even astronauts - the more the merrier!
- For even more magic, use space-shaped cookies on the top!
