Preparation For:
Cake Base:
● Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF/Gas 4) and grease the savarin tin with butter.
● Pour the butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and whisk until it turns pale and fluffy.
● Now, beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour with each egg.
● Gently fold in the rest of the flour, baking powder, and salt, trying not to overdo it, and add the remaining milk if it seems stiff.
● Place the mixture into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the skewer or cocktail stick inserted in the center comes out clean.
● Now, leave to cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Pink Vanilla Bean Icing
● Place the icing sugar, vanilla bean paste, and half the milk into a bowl and stir.
● Gradually add the rest of the milk, while mixing, until you end up with a smooth mixture.
● Now, add a drop of pink food coloring to the mixture and mix well, and set aside.
Giant Sprinkles
● Begin with dividing the fondant into 4 even pieces and coloring each one with each of the shades of food coloring.
● Using the palms of your hands, make small sausage shapes of around 1 1/4 cm (1/2 in) width with each of the colors.
● With a sharp knife, cut 3 cm (1 1/4 in) lengths from each sausage shape to make giant sprinkles.
Assembling
● Turn the cooled cake out onto a stand or dish.
● Give the icing a quick stir then pour it over the cake and spread it evenly over the cake before it becomes too thick.
● While the icing is still damp, press the fondant sprinkles onto the cake in a random formation.
● Let the icing set before slicing up to serve!
