GIANT VANILLA DONUT CAKE



Giant Vanilla Donut Cake image

There's something sweetly nostalgic about vanilla birthday cake-though this guy has a little more flavor than the shop-bought fondant versions I remember as a kid and is super fun to make. Also, who doesn't want a giant donut for their birthday, amirite?

Yield Makes 1 (23 cm/9 in) cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cake:
230 g (8 oz/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
230 g (8 oz/1 cup) caster (superfine) sugar
4 medium eggs
230 g (8 oz/1 3/4 cups) sifted self-rising flour
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp whole milk (if needed)
Pink vanilla bean icing:
500 g (1 lb 2 oz/4 cups) icing (confectioner's) sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
50 ml (2 fl oz/1/4 cup) full-fat (whole) milk
Pink natural food coloring
Giant sprinkles:
100 g (3 1/2 oz) fondant icing (shop bought is fine)
Natural food coloring in pastel blue, yellow, pink and lilac
Special Equipment
23 cm (9 in) savarin ring tin (mold)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF/Gas 4) and liberally grease the savarin tin (mold) with butter.
  • Put the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until pale and fluffy.
  • 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 overwork it. Add the milk if it seems stiff.
  • Place the mixture into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until skewer or cocktail stick inserted in the centre should comes out clean. Leave to cool before transferring to a wire rack.
  • 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. Add a drop of pink food coloring. Mix together and set aside.
  • To make the giant sprinkles, divide the fondant into 4 even pieces and color 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.
  • Turn the cooled cake out onto a stand or dish. Give the icing a quick stir then pour it over the cake. Be quick and confident with it-you don't want it to begin to set before you've finished covering the cake, otherwise lumps will form. If the icing seems too thick, warm it up a little either in the microwave for a few seconds or in a pan on a low heat.
  • 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!
