This is a cake that I have made often. For school teas, home
teas and also it has been requested as a birthday cake. It is essentially a chocolate tray bake with a
chocolate icing and covered with Smarties.
It is quite a dark cake, but somehow that doesn’t stand in its way, it
has child and adult appeal. I reckon it’s the glossy chocolate icing and the
smarties that does it! From Annie Bell’s Baking Bible, Kyle Books
2012.
Here it is as Sophie's birthday cake one year. :)
