Hedgehog Cake

A delicious chocolate novelty cake that the kids will love to scoff as well as create.
We had great fun making and decorating this cute little hedgehog and it's very simple to do.







































Ingredients

4oz butter
4oz caster sugar
5oz self raising flour
2 eggs
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp milk
150ml double cream
150g plain chocolate

Method

• Preheat the oven to around 175 degrees and grease and line the base of a 9" round tin.
• Combine the butter and caster sugar then add the flour, eggs, milk and cocoa powder.
• Pour into the tin, level off and pop into the oven until its cooked (around 25 minutes).
• Leave to cool and then remove from the tray.
• Slice two triangular pieces from the front of the cake and 2 semi-circle shaped pieces from the sides.
• Stack the 4 cut off pieces on top of the cake.
• To make the icing gently heat the chocolate and cream together in a bowl over a pan of boiling water.
• Allow the icing to cool completely (I placed it in the fridge for 40 mins) and when it's a spreadable consistency apply it to the cake.
• Add smarties for the nose and eyes and chocolate buttons for the hedgehogs prickles.
• Scoff!
