SERVES: 10 INGREDIENTS METHOD Cake: 3 cups plain flour 2 cups CSR White Sugar ½ cup cocoa 2 tsp bicarbonate soda ¾ cup sunflower or vegetable oil 2 tbs white vinegar 2 tsp vanilla essence 2 cups cold water 1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan forced. Grease and line the base of a 22cm cake pan. Buttercream Icing: 300g unsalted butter, softened 2 x 250g pkt CSR Chocolate Buttercream Icing Mix 6 tsp water Maltesers, to serve 4. For the icing, use an electric mixer to beat butter until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the 2 x buttercream icing mix packs and water, beating continuously for 3-5 mins. 2. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine. Make three deep wells in the mixture. Pour the oil into one well, vinegar into the second and vanilla into the third. Pour cold water over the top and stir well with a whisk. Pour into the prepared cake pan. 3. Bake for 70 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with only some moist crumbs sticking to it. Allow to cool for 10 mins. Gently remove from the pan onto a cooking rack. Cool completely. 5. To assemble, slice cake in half horizontally. Place bottom half on a plate and spoon half the buttercream icing on top. Repeat with another layer of cake and icing. Use a hot knife or spatula to smooth icing around the sides roughly to create a ‘naked’ look. Top with halved Maltesers.
