* Bake in a pre-heated 170C for 35- 40 mins/ until a skewer inserted comes out clean
* Once the cake has baked, allow it to cool down completely & de-mould it carefully
* To make the Cream Cheese Frosting - whisk together room temperature butter, cream cheese & vanilla until homogeneous - sift in the icing sugar in parts & whisk until combined (you can use an electric whisk to make the frosting too)
* Decorate the cake beautifully with the cream cheese frosting
* Serve, top it up with your favourite sprinkles & Enjoy 🧁✨
