Help me bake a cake

Gilly · 29 Apr 2013 at 20:24

Ingredients I have:

Lemon (x1)
Icing sugar
Caster sugar
Marzipan
150G White chocolate (x2)
Plain flour
Strong flour
Self raising flour
Vanilla
Fondant icing
250g slightly salted butter (x1)
Suet
Baking powder
Marzipan

Those are what I see as the main things but I do have other stuff too.

There's just so many rfecipes out there and there's a bake sale thing for charity tomorrow that I got lumbered with today.

I want something simple and only have one 9" cake tin.

Please help!

Ooh, I couldn't find one that only needed one lemon.

Can you find anything that calls for icing or frosting? Mine's gonna look a bit turd next to some of the others on offer I'm sure!

Awesome, thanks

Should I frost it tonight? Does it need to be in the fridge?

Ta very much

I'm guessing cutting it after cooling completely will be easiest?

Personally ide stick Marzipan on it instead of frosting, much easier to get a neat finish.

EDIT. scratch that, you've got no Apricot jam.

I actually found some apricot jam in the fridge (I don't like it and the wife likes her jam cold, mine lives in the cupboard) and used it with marzipan and fondant icing

I made two, I used the lemon cake recipe above and made a triple choc (white chocolate centre) too.

That was just whilst it all set
