Halloween cake

At the play group me and my boys go to on a Wednesday we are having a Halloween party. I have been put in charge of sandwiches. So naturally I've made a cake.

I decided to do a simple Madeira cake and make it two spooky colours

RECIPE:
(This is enough for an 8" round cake tin)

12oz self raising flour
10oz caster sugar
10oz butter
5eggs
3 tablespoons milk

METHOD:

Sift flour into a large bowl

Add all the other ingredients

Mix until everything is combined (yes it's that easy)

Then divide the mix into two bowls and add the colours you want to the mixture (I used orange and green as the mix is quite yellow and obviously orange and green are already half yellow so they wouldn't look funny colours)

Mix well

Line your cake tin

Pour the mix's into the cake tin (you can't see on the picture but the orange is at the bottom) It is quite a thick mix so once it is in the tin you have to spread it with a spatula to make it flat and go all the way to the edge.

Then bake for 1 1/2 hours on 150oC or until a skewers inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean

Leave to cool in the tin for 15 minuets then turn out onto a cooling rack. (I forgot to take a photo of what it looked like when it came out the oven, but there wasn't much to see as it was just brown-cake coloured)

Once cool it's ready to decorate how you like

I had a few comments on how I made the spider...basically, think the fondant is play dough, and think your 4!! It's that easy!! Oh, and stick all the bits together with a bit of water

Inside, not as bright as the rainbow cake, I think I made the right decision making it green and orange!
